Shubhavir Billion is a team 2-0 for right now because 13:03.460 --> 13:06.500 they got out of the really clutch up from playoffs, given the fact that people expected 13:06.500 --> 13:10.100 them to be much higher. They're the only team in there that did not make a single 13:10.100 --> 13:14.100 roster change and they're second to last, only making it because none of these couldn't 13:14.100 --> 13:15.100 win anything. 13:15.100 --> 13:20.220 North America is really going to be the focus of the upcoming major in just a few weeks time. 13:20.220 --> 13:26.460 It's getting scarily close to Bay and of course the major in Salt Lake City. You can still get 13:26.460 --> 13:32.700 tickets to go to Salt Lake. You absolutely can't scan the QR code, get around it. It's going to be 13:32.700 --> 13:38.380 a fantastic time. A major returning to the US. It's been a couple of years since we've had an event 13:38.380 --> 13:43.020 over in the United States and yeah, Salt Lake City not a place that would usually be on my 13:43.020 --> 13:48.260 list of places to go so what a unique place to experience and for the North 13:48.260 --> 13:51.780 American teams it could be a bit of a shake-up of who will see at the major 13:51.780 --> 13:56.940 itself. Get around it and get amongst it right I think that's the other scene 13:56.940 --> 14:00.220 from Tom Jishew like right there so of course if you're a Siege fan you want to 14:00.220 --> 14:04.460 get your tickets as James mentioned maybe we'll show up, we'll cameo a little 14:04.460 --> 14:07.980 hello guys you know a little awesome church of Australia we'll do you know we 14:07.980 --> 14:12.740 can make that happen. That'll be fun we'll see but of course if you want to make it to the major 14:12.740 --> 14:16.620 But you've got to start from the bottom and that's why the grassroots competition is so 14:16.620 --> 14:17.620 important. 14:17.620 --> 14:21.820 Here at APAC we've got a brand new revamped Tier 2 ecosystem. 14:21.820 --> 14:25.300 We've got a bit of a video to explain it for you, so go and enjoy this. 14:25.300 --> 14:31.660 Hey APAC Siege fans, the Siege is 10 year anniversary behind us and looking at the 10 14:31.660 --> 14:37.460 years ahead we're making some very exciting changes to the APAC Tier 2 ecosystem that will 14:37.460 --> 14:42.460 to better unify what is already the most exciting league region in the world. 14:42.460 --> 14:47.460 Introducing the APL Challenger Circuit. 14:47.460 --> 14:49.460 Let's start with our format. 14:49.460 --> 14:54.460 All teams will compete in an online best of one single elimination bracket with pink. 14:54.460 --> 14:56.460 Just kidding. 14:56.460 --> 15:04.460 The APL Challenger Circuit is composed of the OCE Rivals, the SEA Bootcamp Community Series, and North Rebellion. 15:04.460 --> 15:11.020 Each tournament will have two stages with stage one starting in May and stage two starting in August. 15:11.540 --> 15:17.940 Each stage is broken down into three distinct phases. Let's start with phase one, Play-Ins. 15:18.820 --> 15:25.820 Play-Ins are comprised of four single elimination best-of-one play days with best-of-three qualification games. 15:26.380 --> 15:31.060 Each day you qualify two teams. Get knocked out, it's no stress. 15:31.060 --> 15:35.060 you can compete in every play-in day until you qualify. 15:36.060 --> 15:42.060 Next up you ask, the regular stage will take our eight qualified teams from Plains 15:42.060 --> 15:46.060 and put them up against each other in the best of one single round Robin 15:46.060 --> 15:50.060 to decide who are our top four teams per region. 15:50.060 --> 15:57.060 Finally, our stages culminate in a 14 double elimination best of three bracket 15:57.060 --> 16:07.060 To decide who will be the stages champion, and take home the lion's share of the prize pool, and perhaps more importantly, Challenger Circuit points. 16:07.060 --> 16:10.060 What are Challenger Circuit points you are? 16:10.060 --> 16:20.060 These points are the lifeline of the APL Challenger Circuit, and will be used to qualify teams into the Challenger Series in 2027, 16:20.060 --> 16:27.560 where teams will have the opportunity to qualify into the APL as well as the culmination of APL Challenger Circuit, 16:27.560 --> 16:34.560 the Gauntlet and OCE, the Elite Community Series and SEA, and the Rebellion Finals in North. 16:34.560 --> 16:45.560 So what are you waiting for? Start your path to pro now and sign up for the Stage 1 players and start your ascendancy to the coming pro. 16:45.560 --> 16:53.140 Thanks past Dev Marta. So we have a new tier 2 ecosystem and you can sign up right now. 16:53.140 --> 16:58.640 Get around it, the science will be open until the start of May. So your chance to go and 16:58.640 --> 17:03.840 start your path, you're a sentencing to becoming a pro player, it's begun. Nick, I know that 17:03.840 --> 17:08.360 even though you've raised a few hammers, you've actually gone back and played some tier 2 ecosystems 17:08.360 --> 17:13.680 yourself. Yeah, I did. I subbed in for GK last summer, of course. So when you're up 17:13.680 --> 17:16.200 where they say guys, one of our players can participate, 17:16.200 --> 17:18.680 there's a local line in Germany, they couldn't get a visa for it, 17:18.680 --> 17:21.240 so they're like, you're not subbing finger, what I did. 17:21.240 --> 17:24.040 And I bet against the current Rebels gaming roster, 17:24.040 --> 17:25.640 known as Secret Academy back then, 17:25.640 --> 17:27.560 and we raised a little trouble together. 17:27.560 --> 17:29.840 Grassroots, I love it, is where our 2-2 players 17:29.840 --> 17:32.080 come from, go to tier one, is how the news stories get made 17:32.080 --> 17:35.680 and how you can start a challenge, rather, those tier one teams. 17:35.680 --> 17:37.680 So, we love 2-2 comments, we love tier three. 17:37.680 --> 17:40.280 I love that you were mentioning, of course, your success in tier two. 17:40.280 --> 17:42.080 I was, of course, referring to the other week 17:42.080 --> 17:47.560 We got dropped out by some strokes in the first round. Let's really want to talk about a pack north today 17:47.560 --> 17:51.440 We've got the bracket and our third play D. Thank you 17:51.800 --> 17:55.400 We're really starting to eliminate some teams. Of course. We said goodbye already 17:56.120 --> 17:58.120 to being K fear X and 17:58.760 --> 18:01.680 BME but now deeper into the brackets 18:02.760 --> 18:07.920 Man, it's getting pretty crazy the games that happened yesterday were kind of wild 18:07.920 --> 18:12.620 We now have an upper bracket final set up and to me the big surprise was seeing 18:13.140 --> 18:18.380 CAG take down D plus in such a dominant fashion 7172 18:19.080 --> 18:22.940 Well that that's I woke up and I had a double triple check my phone be like 18:23.620 --> 18:27.860 Did he mean they lost 7172 today? No, no they won like very comfortably 18:27.860 --> 18:32.820 And I think I saw a tweet from anitin maybe something about secret strategies are gonna be showing and stuff like that 18:32.820 --> 18:37.700 So they're almost teasing like a very high level game and then as the man saying I'm so proud of team 18:37.700 --> 18:42.460 because we all came together and played our best level yet as roster so I mean 18:42.460 --> 18:45.380 it also makes the little bracket run just hell for everybody else because now 18:45.380 --> 18:50.700 the pluses down there and they won't revenge against CG right? They're gonna fight their way back just to take first at the end. 18:50.700 --> 18:55.220 I think that's gonna be their goal. Yeah for sure but of course let's talk about 18:55.220 --> 19:01.020 Scars and a really highlight round from yesterday. There was a crazy crazy 19:01.020 --> 19:05.540 round which I was kind of watching out before and I was like what the hell is 19:05.540 --> 19:11.760 going on here. Keep your eye on the yokai. What is happening with the yokai drones from 19:11.760 --> 19:17.260 Jin, right? So, Skars is trying to get a plant down. They have numbers. Moogie's on a clash. 19:17.260 --> 19:22.700 It's a clash on Echo, and you've got 15 seconds. Kind of a deadly combo to go up against. Keep 19:22.700 --> 19:29.140 your eye on Washalade. Planting that defuse. Look at how close he gets. Look at this. Oh 19:29.140 --> 19:37.880 Oh god the absolute sliver of time left and it gets denied right so plan is still not down less than 10 seconds scars 19:37.880 --> 19:39.880 is going for the replay and 19:40.680 --> 19:45.260 Man trying to go up against both players and rank kills both of them 19:45.260 --> 19:52.100 So man no a pack north yesterday had some crazy results scars keeping it going because they had 19:52.300 --> 19:55.980 Insane plays like that from red, but of course today Pingu 19:55.980 --> 20:02.580 We're talking about the Asia League in our Southeast Asian teams. We've got an elimination match in HL 20:02.580 --> 20:04.020 Sorry versus under the I'm there 20:04.020 --> 20:08.340 We've got an upper bracket game in elevate versus team orchid and of course 20:08.460 --> 20:12.200 Then we'll see souls hard taking on the winner of that lower bracket match 20:12.620 --> 20:17.860 Let's just kind of round out the bracket so far by talking about what are the highlights for you so far 20:17.860 --> 20:19.860 Thank you in how Asia has played out. Oh 20:21.260 --> 20:23.500 Highlights so far on this the besides the 20:23.500 --> 20:27.500 I think the easy ones in like watching way more gaming just play high-level siege. 20:27.500 --> 20:30.700 I actually quite enjoy watching LV8 play in their very opening game. 20:30.700 --> 20:34.500 Obviously, with LV8's HL Tower Esports, that wasn't the most difficult match for them. 20:34.500 --> 20:39.500 But I think it showed us how fun LV8 can be as a roster and how they play the game. 20:39.500 --> 20:43.500 Because I think when we speak about APL in general and the other sub regions, 20:43.500 --> 20:48.500 like the click and scars, we want to see something crazy, something out of the usual, something a bit chaotic. 20:48.500 --> 20:50.500 And I think LV8 really brings that to Asia. 20:50.500 --> 20:55.140 So for me, that's been like a team for about four and I'm very curious how the little format goes to more for data today 20:55.140 --> 20:58.700 Yeah, of course, we're kind of expecting here that way, but we'll run the upper bracket 20:58.700 --> 21:04.660 And we have two spots up for down to the solar city major here in the SEA region in Asia as different to osu and 21:05.700 --> 21:08.940 Apec north and that means that it's not just about who's the best in this region 21:08.940 --> 21:11.140 It's about the battle for second place 21:11.180 --> 21:18.220 We all expect way bow to take the championship here now you could see an upset there's still the gates are open for that to happen 21:18.220 --> 21:22.680 But you know at the moment we're all looking at the best team who's gonna be the second best team penguin though 21:22.680 --> 21:27.780 Is it gonna be daystar who went to the six implementation one the si lcqs in China? 21:27.780 --> 21:31.260 Is it going to be soul's heart who won the a pack up? 21:31.260 --> 21:35.340 Is it gonna be elevate with their brand new roster since departed from the Brazilian teams? 21:35.340 --> 21:41.320 Is it gonna be team walk with the former fury roster out of Thailand that has been so many international as all will it be one of the 21:41.320 --> 21:45.040 Underdogs who've already said goodbye to this new fury team 21:45.040 --> 21:50.320 What do we think realistically there is a mound to climb for any of these teams looking at challenge way, but 21:51.240 --> 21:56.420 There really is and I think you you could do good job here saying I put the experience off the individual rosters 21:56.420 --> 22:00.200 Right because we could actually have obviously the more expected ones 22:00.200 --> 22:03.960 He said your day star your soul so that has you know recent experience 22:03.960 --> 22:11.000 But also I do fingers potential for my team and elevate the more kind of wild card team to cause an upset and maybe go the distance 22:11.000 --> 22:17.280 I really think Asia is quite open with the exception, like you said, where it will guarantee blocking in one of those two spots 22:17.280 --> 22:19.280 There is no world in which they don't 22:19.400 --> 22:23.740 So that makes it that much more exciting when you only have one team that can qualify 22:23.740 --> 22:29.120 We do get North for example, right? If you show these maybe CIG or D plus here like that's it 22:29.160 --> 22:36.040 No discussion, but Asia is wide open because they have two spots and it really is question of who can get that final one 22:36.040 --> 22:45.040 Yeah, for sure. Now, of course, our matchup for today is two of the bottom teams at the moment in this climb for the top. 22:45.040 --> 22:55.040 It's of course our elimination match to kick things off. It's HL Tari versus Unreal Nightmare. Later on in the upper bracket, Unreal, sorry, Elevate versus Team Orchid. 22:55.040 --> 23:01.040 And then to cap off today, it'll be the winner of our first match between HL Tari and Unreal Nightmare. 23:01.040 --> 23:07.040 didn't get eliminated to take on Sol's heart to cap things off. Now just touching on this 23:07.040 --> 23:10.760 upper bracket game again because of course that's kind of our highlight and the winner 23:10.760 --> 23:15.560 of Elevate Orca will go on to face Weibo next week. What's your feeling about that? 23:15.560 --> 23:19.560 Because Orca are a bit more of a known quantity being that XFU roster where this Elevate team 23:19.560 --> 23:20.560 is brand new. 23:20.560 --> 23:25.640 Yeah, it's a bit scaring because Team Orca, I mean, they've also been tested more so far 23:25.640 --> 23:30.160 over against Unreal Nightmare. They had two Xhagra fever maps in Bang & Shalay. They did 23:30.160 --> 23:34.960 quite good on both of those, on the Naga struggle and defensive side, so they've actually had a bit 23:34.960 --> 23:41.360 of a challenge. But from Team Elevate, they played up against H. Altari with extremely one-sided 23:41.360 --> 23:46.000 maps and extremely one-sided or individual rounds. If they were to beat Team Oracle by his wave 23:46.000 --> 23:49.600 balls, they're not going to understand the level of C's they're going to be up against because 23:49.600 --> 23:52.800 they've caused a big drastic change for them. You're sure? Now our first game of the day, 23:52.800 --> 23:57.600 it's Unreal Arbor vs H. Altari. Let's talk about these two new up-and-coming teams. Both have made 23:57.600 --> 24:03.840 in through the Challenger series. Now Unreal, Lightmare, this roster we are really talking about 24:03.840 --> 24:08.800 fresh faces, right? Shadow has formally played on that old Dire Wolves team, which eventually became 24:08.800 --> 24:13.920 Dastar, but outside of that these are very much new players into the scene and they've only played 24:13.920 --> 24:18.880 their one match so far. It was up against Team Orgid, obviously a very challenging opponent, 24:18.880 --> 24:23.920 like Colas and the boys who have been representing Fury in the past and been to many international 24:23.920 --> 24:29.840 events they've been one of the pillars of the Asia region for quite some time. It was a challenge 24:29.840 --> 24:34.080 for Under the Nightmare, but now it's also some okay moments. You know they got three rounds on 24:34.080 --> 24:39.840 Shelly, they got four rounds on Bank, it wasn't the end of the world and we got to see, uh, what? 24:39.840 --> 24:44.800 There you go, clutch from Shaz. We got to see Big J in the server, man. It was Crit J versus Big J. 24:45.680 --> 24:49.520 It was, and there were some big individual moments. There is no doubt about that, 24:49.520 --> 24:53.360 but it really comes down to consistency when we look at a roster like Under the Nightmare. 24:53.360 --> 24:57.600 can they find this kind of success on various maps because the thing about 24:57.600 --> 25:01.120 Vista3 is that you're gonna go a bit deeper in your map beetle, in your 25:01.120 --> 25:05.040 Shadbook as well and that's of course we are gonna give us that advantage from 25:05.040 --> 25:08.720 the Nightmare just having you know better players on paper and of course 25:08.720 --> 25:13.880 with Hegel Tori's debut of against Elevate they did not really have that 25:13.880 --> 25:17.360 same kind of level as the rest of the teams in the region so I am going into 25:17.360 --> 25:20.720 this thing on the Nightmare you gotta prove two things right now gotta prove 25:20.720 --> 25:25.760 you can take down the supposedly weakest team in the region. And secondly, you gotta show us that 25:25.760 --> 25:30.160 the first game, they were having a couple of good moments, you can maintain the momentum and keep 25:30.160 --> 25:34.320 that up because you're gonna face stronger and stronger and stronger enemies and you're gonna 25:34.320 --> 25:39.840 stay, you are going back-to-back from speed, having two matches. Yeah, let's talk about their opponents. 25:39.840 --> 25:45.840 It's HL Tori, of course, this roster is well coming through the Challenger series. They were 25:45.840 --> 25:50.240 known as Dolphin Esports when they competed in that Challenger series and last week they 25:50.240 --> 25:55.520 really stole a piggy there. Only game they played so far in that bracket was up against Elevate. It was 25:55.520 --> 26:03.040 Elevate's first match as a new roster. Unfortunately, HL Tory only found one round in the entirety of 26:03.040 --> 26:08.400 labs and two rounds in the entirety of Consulate. Now they're staring down elimination in the second 26:08.400 --> 26:14.800 game. Yeah, and they had a lot of rounds they just couldn't really get the ball going here for HL Tory. 26:14.800 --> 26:20.800 on attacks and stuff outside the building, they can't get to execute, they can spawn peek inside out of this 5 on the rip. 26:20.800 --> 26:28.120 On the defensive side, it's like, they're just not doing their whole tongue, you know, they're not extending out the building as much, not challenging those entry areas either. 26:28.120 --> 26:36.800 So it just feels like they really get exposed for their weaknesses, and I mean it in a positive way, because if they go back and re-watch their matchup against Elevate, 26:36.800 --> 26:42.120 there's so much they can learn, and so many small areas where they can get tons better already. 26:42.120 --> 26:44.760 So it really comes down to comparing the game today, 26:44.760 --> 26:47.400 it's happening in a few minutes, compared to last week's match, 26:47.400 --> 26:49.240 you see how much you have to improve. 26:50.120 --> 26:54.600 Yeah, for sure. It's just going to be a tough game, I think, for both of these teams. 26:54.600 --> 26:57.400 It's really going to be a ball in this lower bracket. 26:57.400 --> 27:01.000 Of course, we saw these teams go head-to-head in the Challenger series at the time. 27:01.000 --> 27:06.280 H. Altari were known as Dolphin eSports, and Unreal Nightmare were known as 7th Heaven. 27:06.280 --> 27:10.280 And that was a, surprisingly, a one-sided affair. 27:10.280 --> 27:15.140 It was a 7-5 on labs and then a 7-1 on water in favor of unreal nightmare 27:15.140 --> 27:20.260 So for me, it's HL towery that really have to get on their bikes here. Let's talk about the video though 27:20.260 --> 27:23.980 Of course, we're going to play B03 which means we need three maps to play 27:24.420 --> 27:28.740 And my analysis here, it is that it's a well we might need to have some 27:33.020 --> 27:36.900 I want to try to get across here. Thank you is in my view 27:36.900 --> 27:42.900 HL Torrey are in the hot seat because they lost very convincingly against Elevator only with two rounds of series 27:42.900 --> 27:47.860 And they also lost last time they played on real nightmare. So they're the ones that I think need every advantage they can get 27:48.620 --> 27:52.420 No for sure one thing that I kind of wanted to say before we saw the map 27:52.420 --> 27:56.540 Because I haven't seen it till this very moment. I want to see some simple maps from HL Torrey 27:56.540 --> 28:01.340 I do think that Shelly very much qualifies for that and technically so does that haven't lapsed 28:01.340 --> 28:08.340 Caffe is a big push mark for me because it is an old school style siege map, but it can be a bit complicated, especially on the attack and side. 28:08.340 --> 28:14.340 So I think we might start off with an ease into this bit for three if they can survive this first map of Caffe. 28:14.340 --> 28:21.340 Well, Caffe will be the battleground to kick things off. Will we need the three maps? Perhaps not, Pinger, as you identified before. 28:21.340 --> 28:29.340 It's Unreal Nightmare versus HLTARI Esports. It's a battle at the bottom of Asia and a fight for survival. 28:29.340 --> 28:32.340 The winner will play later today. 28:32.340 --> 28:37.340 It's going to be a tough slog for both of these teams to run this lower bracket. 28:37.340 --> 28:45.340 But of course, the question remains, who will challenge that second slot at the Salt Lake City Major here in the Asia region? 28:45.340 --> 28:47.340 Let's pick things off. 28:47.340 --> 28:49.340 Café, our first map in this fixture. 28:49.340 --> 28:59.680 So here's your story starting defense. That does make things, of course, a little bit 28:59.680 --> 29:04.680 easier. You know, you can get a couple rounds on the board, get the mental going, and just 29:04.680 --> 29:09.240 get to show what you've been prepping for on paper. Again, I always think for, especially 29:09.240 --> 29:14.600 the lesser experienced teams, even on like an attacker favorite map, starting defense 29:14.600 --> 29:19.560 can actually be quote-unquote advantageous just because you get to settle into the game and 29:19.560 --> 29:23.400 I'll start off like problem solving and try to figure things out in the fly and your nervous 29:23.400 --> 29:27.720 and stuff like that. So this is going to be in a defender-sided map, a strong good side for 29:27.720 --> 29:32.360 Hachotori, and we get some pretty good Aubrey defense to boot. Yin Capital is going to be all 29:32.360 --> 29:37.560 about the execute, it's going to make it harder to take space, you know, in piano, in star, going 29:37.560 --> 29:41.960 into one of school for executes, but Unreal Nightmare has done a really good job at actually 29:41.960 --> 29:46.280 reading into this and how they read into it is to take away a lot of those operators to give you 29:46.280 --> 29:50.840 a strong foothold in the map. That's going to be your mirror, that's going to be your Aruni. 29:50.840 --> 29:56.040 Aruni often I think is a bit of an overrated operator but I do think Cafe is one of the 29:56.040 --> 30:01.400 areas where she shines absolutely as an individual. You get a DMR defense which is quite hard to come 30:01.400 --> 30:06.600 by, you get that Atox Club of course and the Aruni gate is quite excellent on this map. 30:06.600 --> 30:11.320 There are so few ways into the building, most of them are window rappels. What's better than to 30:11.320 --> 30:15.240 to pop an amulet to get every 30 seconds or so that can just give you information. 30:15.240 --> 30:19.640 As long as I gate this up on some jarred door or one of the piano windows for example, 30:19.640 --> 30:25.080 you know they can't really go in. So it gives you a really good continuous kind of information 30:25.080 --> 30:30.200 when Ella might only give you that single on pop. Talking about the operators, 30:30.200 --> 30:34.280 Peter, did you see all the announcements and the conversations about the buffs and 30:34.280 --> 30:39.560 changes that came out yesterday? I did briefly watch it on Twitter because 30:39.560 --> 30:43.840 There wasn't a passion when I watched it, but just any tool streamers tweeting things out. Yes, that's right 30:43.840 --> 30:46.960 I'm pretty excited about I saw titanium rollers ticked off about it 30:46.960 --> 30:52.300 I haven't seen any official videos about it, but yeah looks very exciting couple of nerves and buffs coming through but 30:52.640 --> 30:57.240 But now we did see a spawn pig there out of the five place windows 30:57.560 --> 31:01.960 Sorry, the the pillars windows down to shadow and spawn and goodbye Deimos 31:01.960 --> 31:07.080 That's kind of one of your most important operators on this map. Unfortunately for unreal night there 31:07.080 --> 31:13.520 Well, it's gonna be demos and gonna be the grim they can work together getting a lot of insolence and damage done 31:13.520 --> 31:18.880 But doing a cocktail rappel shot here normally you'd actually send demos downstairs in library 31:18.880 --> 31:25.120 We start grooming the guy on the floor and then get the red ping or the demos tracker and where did you get a kill and 31:25.120 --> 31:30.640 Connect toss on in and then you get an opening pick because I lost the demos and because it lost some of the fraternity 31:30.640 --> 31:32.640 Oh my god! 31:36.480 --> 31:44.240 That is an ambitious run out as well. You have to get pretty far away from the building to get a deep enough angle to actually see people on that rebelle. 31:44.600 --> 31:47.400 Big respect to the solace. He's going for another one! 31:47.920 --> 31:49.160 He's 31:49.160 --> 31:53.880 Incessant this guy. Insatiable. Still has an impact in pocket as well if he wants to go for more later. 31:53.880 --> 31:56.440 I like the aggression. I like the mind games. 31:56.440 --> 32:02.540 I don't know not there in the 3v4 are pivoting as well going for a piano take instead 32:02.540 --> 32:08.220 I like the roadside when you lose those frag grenades you can't really go in now because it's kind of cooked 32:08.220 --> 32:10.920 And also they got the kill that they wanted with the grenades 32:10.920 --> 32:16.280 They could just go elsewhere for the entry pathways with the issue is you still got those cast of barricades and rune laser kids 32:16.280 --> 32:21.040 Etc. It's not gonna be all that easy and you also work as a timer for solace below for pentanyl 32:21.040 --> 32:39.040 Well, when it starts up well, A3 gets that interkill in towards Cartel or Bathroom, that's one more defender down, and now, with some of them being downstairs, they really gotta watch out, the top four defenders cannot risk over-slinging now, and dying to these DMRs, they gotta kinda force them into a close-port gun fight. 32:39.040 --> 32:46.120 The question for the solos is how to progress as she decides to get, she's all the way downstairs 32:46.120 --> 32:50.080 and the attackers are sleeping in the bomb side, this might be possible here for K3. 32:50.080 --> 32:53.840 Killer has no idea that he's being snuck up on right now. 32:53.840 --> 32:57.040 Big kill with the DMR for K3, goes big for a double. 32:57.040 --> 33:01.480 It doesn't matter about the spawn peak if K3 can farm the rest of them. 33:01.480 --> 33:06.080 Now it's the solos who has to do everything himself but K3 has no idea what's going on, 33:06.080 --> 33:10.080 Wag has been picked up, but he's the last one standing as Big J goes down. 33:10.720 --> 33:14.800 Chat now has a massive chance to clutch up and K3 has fallen. 33:15.040 --> 33:19.840 Wag has to try and deny the ace here, but Chat wants to find it. 33:20.080 --> 33:25.680 He needs to go deep, 1 HP, and he gets the ace by HLTARI. 33:28.240 --> 33:29.240 It is everywhere. 33:29.480 --> 33:32.720 There's the same guy jumping out, running out, going for peeks, 33:32.720 --> 33:37.680 stopping the push and then going for that late round flank. It actually was a moment there where 33:37.680 --> 33:43.840 it was going to be ace for ace. K3 on the line had four kills but was then injured. Then you had, 33:43.840 --> 33:50.000 of course, the gentleman also giving the ace in the end. What a start. I mean, it's about vertical 33:50.000 --> 33:55.440 play versus direct prowess. And obviously, it just boils down to on the nightmare, not having enough 33:55.440 --> 34:00.240 drones. It had zero left, by the way, mind you, zero drone stuff. Nobody's watching the flank. 34:00.240 --> 34:06.640 They physically couldn't. And when they're triple pushing top floor, because they had K3 injured on the lion, they're thinking, 34:06.640 --> 34:10.640 oh, we're not sure whether to look for the flank behind us and look in front of us like this. 34:10.640 --> 34:14.560 We gotta go for the revive, so let's watch the white staircase, because that's the closest one. 34:14.560 --> 34:20.000 That's the most dangerous one. They sure saw the flank, the red one, so they do end up getting caught off guard again. 34:21.680 --> 34:25.120 That was a way to kick things off. Like you said, it was an SPS. 34:25.120 --> 34:30.280 It really was for a sale, I was thinking please don't have K3P in here, right? 34:30.280 --> 34:33.040 He's got to be up so they can go for it, but unfortunately not. 34:33.040 --> 34:35.040 It wasn't meant to be. 34:35.040 --> 34:41.440 I mean, to be fair, if you look at Hazel Tori, they do end up kind of choking and buckling 34:41.440 --> 34:44.320 the advantageous position in the 4B3. 34:44.320 --> 34:48.080 One player swings early, then it's 3B3, it's 4B3, it's 4B3 downstairs, and then nobody's 34:48.080 --> 34:49.960 holding long bar, right? 34:49.960 --> 34:50.960 We don't want to see that. 34:50.960 --> 34:54.440 Is it going to be long bar or long bar? 34:54.440 --> 34:58.060 But that's even an attacker! You're asking the question, which one do we attack? 34:58.060 --> 35:05.260 As a defender, you have to watch both long bar and wide slayers, and they were both watching the same angle that was the gap. 35:05.260 --> 35:07.260 Yeah, wow, wow, wow. 35:07.260 --> 35:10.260 1v3 clutch as well, by the way. 35:10.260 --> 35:12.260 Yeah. 35:12.260 --> 35:17.760 My, my, my. That's a rough start there for Unreal Nightmare after every chance they had. 35:17.760 --> 35:19.760 It's a real tug of war between these teams. 35:19.760 --> 35:26.460 The HLTARI had the spawnpeek, Unreal Nightmare brought it back to a 3v1, and then Chathamint aced up to clutch. 35:27.460 --> 35:30.460 Getting much harder to ace against a Montaigneur. 35:30.460 --> 35:39.460 MontyGlyze is quite a vicious combo here for Unreal Nightmare to bring to the table, especially as they look to try and clear Bakery. 35:39.460 --> 35:41.460 Killer is the one that stands in their way. 35:41.460 --> 35:46.980 Unlikely they didn't fully over-commit this Bakery take, but I mean they actually have 35:46.980 --> 35:53.020 the ramp, so they can do a bit of a decality for two rings after they roam clear prep. 35:53.020 --> 35:56.140 This means that once they get Bakery control they can then go upstairs, do a vert, now they 35:56.140 --> 35:57.980 are taken to different floors. 35:57.980 --> 36:01.740 Because they have the Monty, Killers walks in and takes the space absolutely for free, 36:01.740 --> 36:05.360 he just for it does want to contest and doesn't reinforce the wall either. 36:05.360 --> 36:08.740 So this means I'm the nightmare, I mean they have the perfect scenario, they got a Monty 36:08.740 --> 36:13.540 go plant, they got Suns of Smokes there, they get a glass that can peak around the world of Cality. 36:13.540 --> 36:18.420 Now we can at least see a big C4 kill or Sun Strike on the warden trying to get a kill or some value 36:18.420 --> 36:24.820 out, otherwise the pressure is too much to defend. Oh there you go, a killer just has taken out the 36:24.820 --> 36:30.260 glass from on-site of the breach itself, good trade, but the glass going down is pretty deadly here 36:30.260 --> 36:36.260 for Unrulyland, thank you, they still have the Monzi. Shaz needs to make sure not to overextend here, 36:36.260 --> 36:42.620 Cannot afford to go for an ADS. You have to get the teammate to come to support here like don't take this fight 36:42.620 --> 36:47.940 Oh my god, chat from up above on the vert opens up an angle with the shotgun and 36:48.260 --> 36:52.620 Teno's also gonna find one a beautiful little tap with the TCSG shadow 36:52.740 --> 36:58.380 It was meant to be the backstabber taking control up above, but he never took down Chathamon and so 36:58.780 --> 37:05.380 It was a very cut and dried affair once HL Tory held the line lashed out and now on your nightmare are 37:05.380 --> 37:09.820 looking a little bit silly. I mean they had the right tools as I was saying they 37:09.820 --> 37:13.540 can take battery then walk upstairs to the verticality and then work the 37:13.540 --> 37:17.500 bump set together from two different floors but only one booster was used here by 37:17.500 --> 37:21.340 Shadow. It was just some outside the building to this red hallway. They didn't 37:21.340 --> 37:23.940 have to train control. I don't think they even drone it because they were so 37:23.940 --> 37:28.740 unaware about that verticality from the mute above. Tenno gets the final kill 37:28.740 --> 37:32.700 and again it's Hachel Tori strategically playing a bit around and 37:32.700 --> 37:38.700 And this is huge praise because this was what they were unable to do in their opening debut against Elevate. 37:38.700 --> 37:42.700 They were not getting the attack started and they were falling about in defense immediately. 37:42.700 --> 37:46.700 This is such a toy striking first, spawn peeking, playing vertically. 37:46.700 --> 37:50.700 And Killoo knows that thing in that two die spot stuck in that corner. 37:50.700 --> 37:53.700 It's a matter of time before he dies, a matter of when he's gonna die. 37:53.700 --> 37:55.700 He gets the perfect kill into glass. 37:55.700 --> 38:01.700 It's again good risk assessment from the people who are in trouble to say let's try and go one for one. 38:01.700 --> 38:04.780 and they're safer people, they can play safer as they should. 38:07.900 --> 38:09.180 Two rounds in a row now, Pengu. 38:09.180 --> 38:12.260 And maybe my prediction was very wrong. 38:12.260 --> 38:15.100 I said that Unreal Nightmare were looking, 38:15.100 --> 38:16.380 just based on previous results, 38:16.380 --> 38:19.220 obviously they had a better fight in their first match. 38:19.220 --> 38:22.260 And they also took down HLTARI when these guys 38:22.260 --> 38:23.300 were in the Challenger series, 38:23.300 --> 38:24.620 and that was not a close game. 38:24.620 --> 38:26.180 Well, did we fail one map was close? 38:26.180 --> 38:28.740 It was a 7-5, map two was a 7-1. 38:28.740 --> 38:31.180 So perhaps it's a bit of a momentum game as well, 38:31.180 --> 38:49.180 if they start strong on the first map, maybe they'll have what it takes to take a proper fight in a B03, but you know, if it's a, if it's a, you give it everything, but you lose your first map, sometimes you can see teams kind of run out of steam on the second and third. 38:49.180 --> 38:56.980 Obviously, for Caffe generally speaking, and especially how Unreal Nightmare is playing 38:56.980 --> 39:01.380 the map, they are very much in position where they want to play for X-Tuts, right, they're 39:01.380 --> 39:06.700 the 5v5, the step 1, 2, 3, it's a bit more predictable, which technically also means 39:06.700 --> 39:09.860 it's a lot more consistent for the attackers, because like you know what everybody's role 39:09.860 --> 39:11.380 is gonna be. 39:11.380 --> 39:15.300 But if you're Hanzo Tari, again, I'm gonna keep you saying this, a lesser experienced 39:15.300 --> 39:16.300 team. 39:46.300 --> 39:51.460 spawnpeek. So this is the first round kind of reiterated on a reading attack with a clear 39:51.460 --> 39:58.140 control effortlessly. Now I quite like that. HuxLust is now in a very awkward spot between 39:58.140 --> 40:04.260 the white window and the cocktail window. He has about half a meter squared where he 40:04.260 --> 40:09.420 can realistically stay safely and he looks to rotate downstairs. Thankfully he times it 40:09.420 --> 40:16.140 well and then doesn't get caught by the white stairs window itself. But still, HLTARI are 40:16.140 --> 40:20.660 Play it down, and that C4 unfortunately for some strike, completely missed. 40:21.540 --> 40:26.500 Yeah, I mean normally when I have Paul scanning for somebody else's C4 and you kind of communicate when to pop it, 40:26.500 --> 40:29.000 but there is only a single A1, that's gonna be your own. 40:29.560 --> 40:32.680 Strategically now, Hattor Tori, they only have two ways to play the game. 40:32.680 --> 40:39.420 Either you swing before they execute, which I'm trying to skip, but the track stinger gets confirmed because he was injured anyway. 40:39.420 --> 40:46.420 Neither you go for a swing in an aggressive play, or you wait for the plant and then flank right hallway brown stairs to push the verticality. 40:46.420 --> 40:51.420 When you lose that first player, as long as you're under the nightmare, don't make a huge mistake somewhere. 40:51.420 --> 40:57.420 By getting flanked or mistralling a corner, they should just be a lockout for them. They've got a huge advantage and plenty of time. 40:57.420 --> 40:59.420 Yeah, but... 40:59.420 --> 41:04.420 Guess who's upstairs on through a flank up the red stairs. I've seen Shadow in flank up red stairs before. 41:04.420 --> 41:08.660 before. This time it's not going to be the same though. And Shadow looks to flank. He's 41:08.660 --> 41:13.280 going to have a big chance to flank. Hawks last year and with the plant down, it is pretty 41:13.280 --> 41:19.460 much a done deal. Sunstrike in a 1v5 and it doesn't even find a single kill. It's a flawless 41:19.460 --> 41:23.580 round as I don't really know how to finally get themselves on the scoreboard. 41:23.580 --> 41:27.540 Yeah, very well played. Again, no mistakes. Didn't get flanked. They joined everything. 41:27.540 --> 41:31.740 They went for the correct plant position. Like everything was just great. I am curious 41:31.740 --> 41:35.580 the operative band section here very quickly because there are a couple things to go for. 41:35.580 --> 41:40.540 Vertically speaking, we can take away stuff like the Valkyrie, the Pulse, we could go Warden, 41:40.540 --> 41:46.540 or Wamai, for of course map control. For the Opposition here, I also think a Clash Band could 41:46.540 --> 41:55.100 be good. That and then for attackers, Lyon, Deimos, question mark. Lyon. Lyon, oh the Solace, okay. 41:55.100 --> 41:59.820 The Solace is an interesting one because that was the ace operator in the first round. 41:59.820 --> 42:05.100 Yeah, I mean it gives them so much more range vertically like again go to the run-offs and jump-offs 42:05.100 --> 42:09.580 you're gonna play for executes when you swing the rappels it is a great opportunity to remove 42:09.580 --> 42:15.420 especially if they were expecting let's say a nomad stand for example if you ban the nomen 42:15.420 --> 42:19.580 and you have the solace how on earth are you gonna stop the aggression downstairs you're just not 42:19.580 --> 42:25.020 gonna do that um so the lion ban I think makes perfect sense it's what's causing the issues of 42:25.020 --> 42:28.540 helping each other the grenades found in their marks and getting turned up information 42:29.820 --> 42:39.820 It does mean that Grimm will be open for the remainder of the cafe on this side, which will be like a lion, but you just choose exactly where that information goes, right? 42:39.820 --> 42:45.820 And that has been the problem. They played lion and they played the Grimm at the same time on the Repel rounds. 42:45.820 --> 42:48.820 Those redpins are the key don't, because Mew doesn't stop the Grimmies anymore. 42:48.820 --> 42:56.820 And when you spoke about the Operator Nurgent boss that we heard of yesterday, Grimm was actually one of the Operators mentioned in that post, right? 42:56.820 --> 42:57.820 Yeah. 42:57.820 --> 43:04.080 Yeah, I don't know the exact details, but from what I've heard it's increasing the delay of the deployment of the gadget 43:04.080 --> 43:07.080 So once you shoot it out, I mean even right now 43:07.080 --> 43:13.560 There's actually like a half a second or a second where you can actually shoot the gadget before it releases the bees 43:13.560 --> 43:17.420 But it's such a window that you're almost never gonna realistically be able to do that 43:17.420 --> 43:22.220 I think they're increasing that duration which just adds a little bit more counterplay, which I think is a great 43:22.720 --> 43:24.720 Nerf for Grim. Yeah 43:24.720 --> 43:30.240 Um, but another thing that comes to mind pingu is the fact that banning out the lion bans out a set of nades 43:30.560 --> 43:34.000 And we saw how good the nades were on that top floor for unreal nightmare 43:35.920 --> 43:37.920 I think it again is an excellent ban 43:38.400 --> 43:38.880 Oh 43:38.880 --> 43:42.880 Forgotten credit. So this is a tricky nade. You can laugh all you want this grenade 43:43.120 --> 43:49.200 It gets missed every day in every elo in pro league. Okay. This one of those moments where it's a tough grenade 43:49.200 --> 43:54.320 okay because the door obviously has a bit of a lip if you put on the inside of a cigar box 43:54.320 --> 43:58.800 and I think that's the big thing because the castle barricade on the door can be put on from 43:58.800 --> 44:03.760 piano into cigar or from cigar into cigar and you see how there's a big lip and a gap on the 44:03.760 --> 44:08.480 double door that's because the castle door from inside of cigar room that means the grenade has 44:08.480 --> 44:13.360 a travel underneath the castle barricade beneath that lip and bouncing off the corner isn't that 44:13.360 --> 44:20.440 easy. It is and losing the sledge is a big kill obviously with Castle in play 44:20.440 --> 44:25.160 but meanwhile Shadow has snuck in on the solid snake and down a kill. Shadow been 44:25.160 --> 44:28.680 going down obviously the top fragger he's got as many kills as the rest of his team 44:28.680 --> 44:35.880 combined that's a great player to take down early. I mean what do you do if you bend 44:35.880 --> 44:39.040 the line if you want more frag grenades you're being more frag grenades sledge 44:39.040 --> 44:43.300 famous and solid snake and also get one by each death of his teammates or of 44:43.300 --> 44:46.680 course the enemies. Ton of utility, they've got some greenbeats as well. 44:46.680 --> 44:51.400 Plenty of ways to work this round. The working now, why is there a window? 44:51.400 --> 44:55.040 Oh my god, he jumps out again! Great decision made with the grenade! 44:55.040 --> 44:59.720 We see some of them. Thankfully he gets out. That's a huge double kill from Tenno 44:59.720 --> 45:03.800 however. It does kill Unreal Nightmare to try and launch into the site. Good kills! 45:03.800 --> 45:08.380 Shaz now has to go deep. No more flashes remaining on the 11 bullets in the 45:08.380 --> 45:13.420 primary as Wag reloads, both of them do together. Teno trying to flank up the white stairs, but 45:13.420 --> 45:17.740 he's now the last one as they picked off the player inside a cocktail. This has been so well 45:17.740 --> 45:23.420 pivoted from Unreal Nightmare. As Teno found those two early kills, he now has to find two more to 45:23.420 --> 45:29.900 finish off the round and the Nomad is just baiting him. Wag gets off the diffuser and finds a second 45:29.900 --> 45:36.220 round for Unreal Nightmare. Again, I really want to appreciate H.O.T. Tori here because they do 45:36.220 --> 45:41.340 things correctly. Yes, they lose the round, but they do so many important things. Correct. 45:41.340 --> 45:44.380 Again, when you're stuck on the wide staircase, you know it's going to be a frag grenade, 45:44.380 --> 45:49.500 knowing that's a demo, for example, you jump out and in your head, you're having to take the one 45:49.500 --> 45:53.820 for one. That means you jump out, you kill the demos, you die to a claymow, or you die to his 45:53.820 --> 45:58.300 teammate, whatever. That's worth it because you're kind of disjointing the push because they're 45:58.300 --> 46:02.620 going to push from the piano side and then cut off the rotation on the window rappel. 46:02.620 --> 46:11.980 By either taking off the Winter Repel player or you get a kill on Piano, you'll weaken one of the areas giving your teammates a much stronger chance of success. 46:11.980 --> 46:19.340 Heijou Tori strategically has played so good here in Cafe, but have just fallen in the individual gunfight. 46:19.340 --> 46:27.020 We see both Killer and Sunstrike a little bit weak on the scoreboard, that's not a problem necessarily, but it does mean where that gunfight happens. 46:27.020 --> 46:33.020 there's a good chance on one night back and create a gap by getting a kill as they're just superior in the individual fighting 46:33.020 --> 46:39.020 whereas the Chatterman, where he's going, I mean he's owning, he's been winning so many gunfights, especially on the roam game 46:39.020 --> 46:44.020 so strategically, their sound individually just need a little bit more firepower 46:44.020 --> 46:48.020 and this could honestly have been like a 3-1-4-0 type of situation 46:48.020 --> 46:54.020 Yeah, but on the flip side of that, you know, Chatterman's starting to get targeted now, of course we saw the solid snake 46:54.020 --> 46:58.420 We saw a doke be teased out there for a second they picked off of we've seen that the day moss a few times 46:58.580 --> 47:04.360 So as soon as channeling is trying to 1v1 or 1vx on the room and there's you two coming into play 47:04.360 --> 47:10.460 I mean yeah, you can't expect him to achieve very much and the other side of what you were saying in terms of 47:10.460 --> 47:14.980 Underline they're doing a lot of fights. They're playing together as soon as they know that tenno jumped out 47:15.140 --> 47:20.600 They didn't waste any time. They just collapsed and now unfortunately for channeling. He's died earlier 47:20.600 --> 47:25.400 I don't know exactly where he was last. I saw he was upstairs trying to set up utility. I can only assume 47:26.040 --> 47:28.200 Oh, he jumped out. Yeah, wow 47:28.840 --> 47:30.040 That's 47:30.040 --> 47:33.800 I mean, that's just becoming a bit predictable at the moment. I think for HLTAR 47:35.080 --> 47:39.800 And you're mute like you don't have the same kind of rain of terror as you do with a solar 47:39.800 --> 47:43.080 So you have like C4 and park it which is just wasted now 47:43.720 --> 47:47.880 You have your jammers, which I mean, I assume you put them all down honestly didn't check 47:47.880 --> 47:51.560 But if you can rewrote it to mid-round based on what happens as well 47:51.560 --> 47:55.580 For example, let's say you have a couple of jumps in the room, but they're not rotating you 47:55.580 --> 47:59.440 Now you can pick them up here like a laundry and go back towards the bum side and then put them down later 47:59.520 --> 48:03.440 To have your teammates avoid the demos tracker that goes out the window 48:03.440 --> 48:09.140 So now we see overnight here again should keep you being controlled. You got vertical operator double down walk and the ram 48:09.140 --> 48:13.200 They're gonna tear apart the floor. They got a banner that has already opened 48:13.200 --> 48:19.920 You're half around to play they got a shield with more frag grenades in the blackbeard and then they have information from demo striker 48:19.920 --> 48:25.120 They have every single checkbox marked and ready to go all they have to do now 48:25.120 --> 48:27.840 Which is of course the most difficult one is to get a correct 48:29.080 --> 48:35.420 It's hard to do even with the day most tracker on that player inside of a tree the native eventually lands on ten oh 48:35.960 --> 48:41.460 Shares will fall as well man. Unreal nightmare have been terrifying with the grenades today 48:41.460 --> 48:46.140 Sunstrike finds his first kill of the game with a nitro cell. It's him and hoxless now 48:46.660 --> 48:49.100 Two versus four. That's a big kill though 48:49.100 --> 48:55.780 Barca trade from Shaz on the bombsite the black beard is so tough to deal with now for HLT 48:56.180 --> 49:01.220 Good angle onto the Deimos. He's just sticking it. Yeah, he is sticking it. I respect that 49:02.100 --> 49:04.100 commitment to the bit and 49:04.100 --> 49:08.820 Now it's up to Sunstrike a 1v3 with the track from the Deimos onto his position 49:08.820 --> 49:15.660 and they're still contesting him on the ver they know exactly where he is and big j will finally put the round to bed one 49:15.660 --> 49:17.660 round left in the half for 49:17.700 --> 49:19.700 HLT to try and even the score 49:20.420 --> 49:22.820 I mean when you're getting two or three 49:23.220 --> 49:26.780 Fraconists kill in these rounds it is just so hard to play against 49:27.060 --> 49:29.700 But it's a really good use of utility front of the nightmare 49:29.740 --> 49:35.420 Why simplify it and just force a gunfight that anybody can win or lose you can toss two 49:35.420 --> 49:40.300 frag grenades at a sole player while you're taking the gunfight with two guns. Where's 49:40.300 --> 49:45.400 the scenario? You die to a bullet, he dies to a grenade. Best scenario, the enemy just 49:45.400 --> 49:50.740 dies without anybody suffering a loss on your side of the point. The beautiful stuff. And 49:50.740 --> 49:55.020 I mean, I love how mid they are to this pit. They've been playing sets for the grenades, 49:55.020 --> 49:58.980 now the thing blacked out for the grenades. And it's not because Lyon was played, then 49:58.980 --> 50:03.660 Tarky then Lyon has played. So they just try to figure out, okay, which 50:03.660 --> 50:08.620 made-operated do we bring? And obviously Demo has been a staple, goes out saying great gadget, 50:08.620 --> 50:15.020 great weapon, has frag grenades or even hop each canister if we need be. So, Hazel Tori had a great 50:15.020 --> 50:20.620 start but this has been thanks to Under Nightmare Makings with good adjustments. As you said so 50:20.620 --> 50:25.100 perfectly, your counter and shadow link is a question. He's been dying first quite often, 50:25.100 --> 50:29.260 they got more control from the web game, they're not getting run out on, and the solo spin has 50:29.260 --> 50:33.740 honestly been huge because it's really sun to get to Tori's win condition. 50:34.540 --> 50:38.540 The Poles have tried to be played, we've seen some of them I, but they're still down to Nades 50:38.540 --> 50:42.300 despite there might be played. They haven't got a single C4 kill despite Poles being played, 50:42.300 --> 50:46.540 so they have really just had the aggression of Solace being like the main wincon and they haven't 50:46.540 --> 50:54.140 found a new one since. Yeah, Pengo can't help but feel like in this current meta you have to be 50:54.140 --> 50:58.520 good at lots of different things. And we're seeing that from Unreal Nightmare, obviously 50:58.520 --> 51:03.920 a lot of nade play, a lot of repel play in a lot of the early rounds. And then the Black 51:03.920 --> 51:07.400 Beard is brought out in something very different. Obviously he's got nades as well, but they're 51:07.400 --> 51:11.360 using him for what a Black Beard is good at, which is shoving. Now they've got a bit, a 51:11.360 --> 51:16.000 different type of shield. So they're happy to bring a variety of different ingredients 51:16.000 --> 51:20.720 to the table, depending on what is best right now. Instead of just what's a generally good 51:20.720 --> 51:25.600 operator wow i probably tend to actually got the kill mid jump out before dying to the claim or 51:25.600 --> 51:30.080 credit to him and you can argue that's actually a worthwhile trade with the grim going down 51:30.880 --> 51:37.760 yeah actually using the grim for just passive and nigger adss this is 100% worth it for hazel 51:37.760 --> 51:42.880 tori it does mean that the blitz pushing power gets a little bit better because there is more 51:42.880 --> 51:46.640 individual people there's those crossfires when you're down to member of course but then when 51:46.640 --> 51:52.280 They only just saw some really tricky denarii laces here to support the pulse of Sunstrike. 51:52.280 --> 51:58.000 On Minding Window Jump in and the Red hallway double door, you can't push past that line 51:58.000 --> 52:01.280 into the Sunstrike pulse unless you clear them first. 52:01.280 --> 52:05.920 That gives you either a bit of a forewarning or you slow down at the top raider. 52:05.920 --> 52:06.920 Here's the laser. 52:06.920 --> 52:07.920 It didn't hit him. 52:07.920 --> 52:08.920 It cleared it I guess. 52:08.920 --> 52:09.920 It must have done... 52:09.920 --> 52:11.920 I think yeah, he did it from Red's stand somewhere. 52:11.920 --> 52:13.360 Oh, Shaz goes down though. 52:13.360 --> 52:18.240 You talked about crossfires before, that's one way to kill a Blitz, and finally the Dawn 52:18.240 --> 52:21.080 Trap will be thrown in to finish off the downed Operator. 52:21.080 --> 52:25.520 I don't know why that aggression from Sunstrike came through a little bit ill-advised. 52:25.520 --> 52:27.960 It is allowing a trade here from Shadow. 52:27.960 --> 52:31.160 2v3 is not impossible here, but I'm on real nightmare. 52:31.160 --> 52:35.200 I was looking at the call as well, but they got to go fishing. 52:35.200 --> 52:39.920 I needed to find one more defender and even the numbers to a 2-2, then you can start working 52:39.920 --> 52:41.360 that bombsite. 52:41.360 --> 52:45.440 now down a player I don't think that's gonna happen. The thing is right now I 52:45.440 --> 52:49.120 mean you got four and downstairs in the corner called basement if you will. You 52:49.120 --> 52:52.560 got Chatham and solo top floor by playing of course on the white staircase 52:52.560 --> 52:56.640 could just fall back but all it takes is you're not hearing your opponent or 52:56.640 --> 53:01.840 you're not you know refusing to fall back. Oh the discipline was back to us 53:01.840 --> 53:06.800 longer they understand as well. Guys 30 seconds don't die stay up. That may 53:06.800 --> 53:10.120 almost scared me for a second I thought that maybe the magnet was so close to 53:10.120 --> 53:15.480 floor that K3 might die but no second magnet though actually does yeah it did 53:15.480 --> 53:18.780 go and destroy the denario activate the denario but they're gonna have to walk 53:18.780 --> 53:21.160 through before it reactivates otherwise they're gonna trigger it again 53:21.160 --> 53:24.240 Chetamin tucked away in the corner he gets spotted but he finds the killer 53:24.240 --> 53:28.160 regardless goes for the second one shadows it off with spot out comes a 53:28.160 --> 53:33.440 secondary and the slug or two is enough for HL Tari to even up the half as we 53:33.440 --> 53:38.480 cap off the first and go to our halftime vibe check 55:40.120 --> 55:58.120 Well, the classic is that we say you need four rounds of defense on cafe HL sorry didn't quite get for but the fact that they won that last round of the half to even things up does give them just a glimmer of hope here against our real nightmare on the first map. 55:58.120 --> 56:18.120 I'm a little bit worried for H.O.T.T.O.R.Y. because we said about how like starting defense on cafe is like the perfect spot to be but if you don't get like I said that 4-2-1, that perfect spot that you should aim for, is it enough to go the distance on this map or just simply take it in regulation? 56:18.120 --> 56:33.120 Because my worst, a bit more in the more chaotic maps, Shelly, Night Heaven Labs, map 2 and map 3, I do think will favor on the little Nightmare a little bit more, given that we've already seen Hazel Torrey fair on those maps, or on Night Heaven at least, and not half the best of times. 56:33.120 --> 56:41.120 Also in terms of the jam, right? There's a keep it or delete it. I'd say keep that song, by the way. I like that. 56:41.120 --> 56:46.120 Very chill, but like, you know, a bit of energy to it. I like that. I like that. 56:46.120 --> 56:50.280 It was a good first game of the day, I feel like that's pretty fitting. 56:50.280 --> 56:54.880 If that was the last game, we need more energy, we gotta keep doing it faster. 56:54.880 --> 56:58.640 Did you see the one that went a little bit viral? 56:58.640 --> 57:02.880 There was one particular track that we had, I can't remember if we could see that one. 57:02.880 --> 57:05.040 What's it? Did you see it? 57:05.040 --> 57:09.760 Yeah, it was just yesterday actually. 57:09.760 --> 57:12.040 It was CAG vs D plus. 57:12.040 --> 57:15.880 Funny, because obviously I take number one versus number two in the entire region. 57:16.480 --> 57:19.200 And very intense, huge game. 57:19.200 --> 57:21.320 And then we go to this like circus music. 57:21.320 --> 57:31.960 I, um, I mean, honestly, and I mean this in like the most positively possible, 57:31.960 --> 57:36.640 it was like the perfect sound for a CAG match because they, they have, 57:36.640 --> 57:41.200 obviously historically, they have done the most circus level rounds. 57:41.200 --> 57:48.800 I've seen of all time in APL right and they were on a tear and they were playing solid siege and then they just get the clown music 57:48.800 --> 57:52.240 It kind of like dude is almost I would just like memeing cag right now 57:52.240 --> 57:56.480 But I play the music off like they're a team except that they're not the clowns 57:56.720 --> 57:58.720 They're making the plus the best clowns 57:59.200 --> 58:06.160 Do you ever see all of the the cag skins in game that are really like goofy like really silly really funny? 58:07.200 --> 58:10.800 Yeah, yeah, that's my favorites like some of my favorite skins 58:10.800 --> 58:17.800 in the game from the redshade program, all of CIG's skins, because they just embrace that, the meme-ish. 58:17.800 --> 58:24.800 Yeah, they have, I think one of the more recent skins, I forget exactly what it is, but it's like a toy. 58:24.800 --> 58:31.800 Almost like a dinosaur toy or whatever it is, they have some good bright colors, and they stand out. 58:31.800 --> 58:39.800 For a long time we had to animate skins on a ton of different organizations, and CIG have embraced, again, bright colors, 58:39.800 --> 58:43.720 Toy themes and just saying we're a bit silly with big goofy. It's very 58:44.720 --> 58:50.780 Average guy as well. Yeah. Yeah, very much magic code that kind of I I like see that's like it 58:51.800 --> 58:57.260 So we're into a rehearse now as you guys can see we're just gonna have to get everyone back into the game won't take too long 58:57.260 --> 58:59.260 I'm sure I 58:59.680 --> 59:03.040 Don't know if this famous either team here. I guess it gives 59:04.240 --> 59:06.680 Unreal 9 we're a little bit more time. We're talking about their setups 59:06.680 --> 59:13.680 HL Tauri won't really have any extra information based on what happened in the technical pause, 59:13.680 --> 59:17.680 so I don't think they really get much of an advantage here. 59:17.680 --> 59:23.680 No, not per se. The only advantage is obviously just the size, but again, you can literally 59:23.680 --> 59:27.680 go force and attack if you're really good at it. 59:27.680 --> 59:32.680 I'm really happy with the first half though, because I was a bit worried about HL Tauri's level 59:32.680 --> 59:38.060 level from the elevated matches thinking I don't know if if they're going to get enough 59:38.060 --> 59:42.280 rounds to get experience because that's a big problem like if you lose 7-0 or 7-1 every 59:42.280 --> 59:46.960 single game you're not going to have a lot of opportunities to learn from whereas if 59:46.960 --> 59:51.840 you go max overtime you're doubling the round count even if you're to lose 0-2 in the end 59:51.840 --> 59:56.360 so the fact that they're actually going a distance even half having some good moments as individuals 59:56.360 --> 01:00:01.280 and as a team is everything I wanted from this game so far but it's the first time 01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:04.960 to be a three right they got I mean team that level and consistency they can't 01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:09.280 just fall apart now I'm side swap yeah now I'm looking back at the maps that we 01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:13.580 saw both these teams play in their first playday for HLTARI it was labs and 01:00:13.580 --> 01:00:18.920 consulate I don't know it was Chile and Bank you know I managed to catch in the 01:00:18.920 --> 01:00:23.960 V so do you know who picks cafe and who picks chalet I can only assume well 01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:29.840 unreal night Kathy was cafe yeah okay and all I'm at pick cafe that's what I 01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:33.980 You also got to be just that inside and then he's it's hard with a pitch. I mean, I just had a night hidden 01:00:33.980 --> 01:00:39.620 Yeah, interesting that HLTRI picked Shelly. I guess they saw a high-middle nightmare lose at 7-3 to 01:00:41.100 --> 01:00:45.100 To orchid so perhaps yeah kind of like that if I had some weaknesses 01:00:45.100 --> 01:00:48.100 They've got some ideas of how they play but the flip side of that is I don't know 01:00:48.100 --> 01:00:53.820 I'm gonna let me have had a chance to play she'll a against a good team go to the drawing board and fix up some problems and 01:00:55.340 --> 01:00:57.340 Shelly does play a bit more 01:00:57.340 --> 01:01:04.640 I don't want to say like neurogencies, but you know a bit more split theory split pushes out of nowhere kind of takes and 01:01:04.640 --> 01:01:10.720 I do think it's gonna be a very different stylistic play style than cafe is so it could be hard to just to for Higio Tori 01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:13.960 It's the stats of the game so far 01:01:16.720 --> 01:01:18.720 4.4 kills 01:01:20.240 --> 01:01:21.600 I 01:01:21.600 --> 01:01:23.920 Hope so otherwise, you know 01:01:23.920 --> 01:01:30.080 yeah right and so all of this is kind of per round stats yeah that makes sense 01:01:30.080 --> 01:01:37.040 so like entry kills for example that's wait how does that make sense it's a 01:01:37.040 --> 01:01:44.680 base of unless it's actually not sure either to be completely honest like 01:01:44.680 --> 01:01:49.400 stats are a crazy enigma right like how how does how does how did numbers work 01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:56.960 I give up in school so you know I'm not quite certain myself. I did a constant piece at ASI 01:01:56.960 --> 01:02:01.320 They're Miller's I come Nick will do a country shoot with a little video for social media like great 01:02:01.880 --> 01:02:05.760 Cameras go on lights to go alright this video is about math questions 01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:07.960 And I decide no no cut cut the video right now 01:02:08.720 --> 01:02:14.400 And then me no so no it's fine. We'll just not release it if it's bad bro. It was the worst constant piece of time 01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:16.960 I live I can't hit him with it. I don't know I don't know 01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:23.200 I don't know also because I was taught math in Danish, but it's English math questions and the terminology 01:02:23.200 --> 01:02:25.200 So that is like a vastly different obviously 01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:28.320 I had a hard time. What kind of questions did he ask? 01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:34.400 We you know, we did some basic stuff like square root we did 01:02:35.680 --> 01:02:41.600 We I don't know we did how to the classic stuff or how do you calculate the service area of a triangle? 01:02:41.600 --> 01:02:43.600 I don't know like stuff like that and 01:02:43.600 --> 01:02:51.520 And then it based on stuff like the X plus X and I was like, oh, I can figure that one out, you know, mental math, but generally speaking, it did not go well. 01:02:51.520 --> 01:02:53.200 I got one in five, I think. 01:02:53.320 --> 01:02:58.240 That doesn't sound that basic to your credit square roots and algebra and chicken. 01:02:58.240 --> 01:02:58.600 I'm a tree. 01:02:58.600 --> 01:03:00.280 I think that's like, yeah. 01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:06.680 So when you're doing in your head on the spot, like that sounds hard, I have to clarify what a square root was before answering the question. 01:03:06.680 --> 01:03:09.040 Because again, in Danish, it's not called a square root. 01:03:09.040 --> 01:03:10.160 It's called something else. 01:03:10.160 --> 01:03:10.360 Right. 01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:16.920 I honestly couldn't tell you a lot of your English is now better than your 01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:22.420 damage for math it's it's a tough one yeah I mean again schools a long time ago 01:03:22.420 --> 01:03:27.600 I dropped out of 10 years ago now and math was not the class that I was most 01:03:27.600 --> 01:03:33.160 excited for what was the class you were most excited for English funny enough 01:03:33.160 --> 01:03:37.480 yeah I mean when you're really good at something you should be enjoyed in 01:03:37.480 --> 01:03:41.480 school because you're getting good grades, you obviously know how to navigate things. 01:03:41.480 --> 01:03:46.160 I was a bit ahead because I played video games, I started playing like World of Warcraft going 01:03:46.160 --> 01:03:52.000 up and I kind of learned English through that as a social experiment, but my classmates 01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:53.000 didn't. 01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:56.960 But then I didn't participate in class for math class and they did so then I couldn't 01:03:56.960 --> 01:03:59.400 do basic numbers. 01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:01.960 So yeah. 01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:09.360 So we can see that the bands are Mira Clash, Ying and Grim apparently, so we're going to 01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:13.240 redo the bands but they're already locked in because we already played out the band 01:04:13.240 --> 01:04:14.240 face. 01:04:14.240 --> 01:04:15.240 True. 01:04:15.240 --> 01:04:20.040 But we just had to re-pick them again as we got back into the server. 01:04:20.040 --> 01:04:24.360 Ying and Grim, so yeah look I don't mind that. 01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:31.040 Mira Clash don't mind that, what else is, what's in a Xami castle, a ring, what a big kid is 01:04:31.040 --> 01:04:40.560 here. I like when a team they bring an operator on the attack that is just like super strong 01:04:40.560 --> 01:04:44.000 right like they play the other night we're playing grim like every round on their attack 01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:50.160 inside basically I think maybe except for one and it went unbanned throughout the first and 01:04:50.160 --> 01:04:54.720 the second ban phase and then they flip it they instantly bend the grim you know they're like 01:04:54.720 --> 01:04:58.800 we know how strong this operator is you might not have realized but we don't want to play against it 01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:00.800 But I get rid of it 01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:04.320 Um, and it goes to show the difference in mindset 01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:08.000 Oh, of course, like what teams they want to play against and what they want to play with 01:05:08.080 --> 01:05:11.320 We did see he's a Tory trying to bring out the mutant last couple rounds 01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:15.200 I figure like if that could be a counter not for the grim perceived of the demos for example 01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:20.840 So it's a matter of the first round feeling out what enemies do you think your enemies gonna bring target ban those 01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:27.360 What do they actually bring in after ban phase and then you can say, okay guys the thing monty everything around bring the counters 01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:32.480 But then canceling around bring the counters and that kind of adaptation from round to round basis 01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:39.240 Well, I like that these holes in the floor that's a 01:05:39.800 --> 01:05:48.200 Classic one you toss a C4 up from downstairs in mining and train and it can actually kill them on the solid floor inside of shop 01:05:48.600 --> 01:05:50.200 That's cool 01:05:50.200 --> 01:05:54.360 Love seeing old tech brought back to life. That's the holes. We're looking at right there. Yeah 01:05:54.360 --> 01:06:00.620 It's the real tech here is it's how she's before into the Aruni gate and then the attacker lives and you're so bad 01:06:07.400 --> 01:06:12.280 It could happen, you know, they gotta if the attackers don't burn the Aruni, they cannot get C4 01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:14.900 Yeah, so you think about it. They shouldn't burn the game 01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:21.600 You can also they were similar you can also do it from the other angle like this car hatch 01:06:21.600 --> 01:06:28.220 You can go below and pillar break the soft wall and then go up through the cigar hatch and then go deep in cigar desk 01:06:28.320 --> 01:06:31.680 It's a very rare C4 to see nowadays, but back to for the cafe rework 01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:35.060 This if also a lot more common to do and the pillars it was well, of course 01:06:37.880 --> 01:06:41.200 Well, so it's wag is gonna be playing down here it does have a C4 in pocket 01:06:41.880 --> 01:06:43.720 Good gun actually to hold this position 01:06:43.720 --> 01:06:48.840 I feel because he's got the penetration to go through the walls as well if he wants to try and make more holes 01:06:48.840 --> 01:06:54.560 and he can always fall back and play a lot of the enemies on the bomb. 01:06:54.560 --> 01:06:59.020 The other bomb site of course, the bomb site is fireplace and creeding. 01:06:59.020 --> 01:07:00.020 Yeah. 01:07:00.020 --> 01:07:03.680 You're back strapped, and oh nice, well-conceived. 01:07:03.680 --> 01:07:04.680 Oh boy. 01:07:04.680 --> 01:07:05.680 This is smart. 01:07:05.680 --> 01:07:12.040 I think on the nightmare they looked at Hazel's horse attacks last week and said these guys 01:07:12.040 --> 01:07:17.040 were extremely slow on the entry, and they struggled at similar distances, making progress 01:07:17.040 --> 01:07:19.680 and staying alive at the same time, so they think they're passive. 01:07:19.680 --> 01:07:21.440 They're not even playing in C-Guard. 01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:23.680 They just been to Goyalphire or RuneGate, 01:07:23.680 --> 01:07:27.360 Barbed Wire, C4 downstairs, and they're holding it vertically. 01:07:27.360 --> 01:07:30.320 Hegell Tori so far are more or less taking the bait. 01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:32.240 Yes, they have some striking outside the mining window. 01:07:32.240 --> 01:07:34.000 We've been watching a little bit of that vert, 01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:35.440 but if they go into the piano, 01:07:36.160 --> 01:07:38.400 Vc4's information is going to be constant. 01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:39.840 Oh, wow. 01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:40.640 K3. 01:07:40.640 --> 01:07:42.800 Oh, big double with the Reaper. 01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:44.240 Tossed out an archer if he could measure, 01:07:44.240 --> 01:07:45.600 tries to make a clip out of it, 01:07:45.600 --> 01:07:53.200 But the third kill won't happen except, well he will because he's gonna swing another one with his reaper and now he's just going for everything. 01:07:53.200 --> 01:07:54.560 He's down four kills. 01:07:54.560 --> 01:07:56.800 Alright, he's just one of those rounds I guess. 01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:03.040 There's a pulse like a madman running around with his secondary automatic pistol and finding everyone except for killer. 01:08:03.040 --> 01:08:08.080 Now let's see if this could maybe be a bit of redemption for killer. No, not to be. 01:08:08.080 --> 01:08:12.320 Wow, that was a very strange, very, very strange start to the half. 01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:16.260 I mean, who said the Reaper is a bad weapon? 01:08:16.260 --> 01:08:20.340 This guy is taking the K3, my man, popping off. 01:08:20.340 --> 01:08:21.340 Very well done. 01:08:21.340 --> 01:08:23.300 I mean, it's just middle mining information. 01:08:23.300 --> 01:08:27.300 I mean, he had info on both the window player and the Grim, the player in the bottom red 01:08:27.300 --> 01:08:28.300 hallway. 01:08:28.300 --> 01:08:29.620 So it's full intel game. 01:08:29.620 --> 01:08:34.380 And then it just goes for more because he uses C4, he got his kills, he might as well 01:08:34.380 --> 01:08:35.380 go big or go home. 01:08:35.380 --> 01:08:37.860 Even if he dies, it's completely worth it. 01:08:37.860 --> 01:08:43.320 Nathan torries off the rip here, kinda showing similar weakness as he did last week on the 01:08:43.320 --> 01:08:48.520 attack inside, struggling to get the entry, dying, not early, cause there was only a minute 01:08:48.520 --> 01:08:52.800 left when the first player went down, but dying in strange ways. 01:08:52.800 --> 01:08:56.680 They had Monty, who's obviously upstairs, they gridlocked the red plane, but then they 01:08:56.680 --> 01:09:02.040 start trying to get downstairs control, and the funny thing is, in the end, Monty didn't 01:09:02.040 --> 01:09:03.600 go for piano. 01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:07.720 They never really needed to take down those controls because it didn't actually go into 01:09:07.720 --> 01:09:11.680 that area of the map. Now if that of course was the plan, that would explain why they 01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:16.080 did it, so you have some force side which is good, but why not take the Monty downstairs 01:09:16.080 --> 01:09:20.200 first maybe if you think there's a limo down there, shove those rumors away and then send 01:09:20.200 --> 01:09:23.920 them on the back of stairs. Obviously they're a bit low on time, maybe that's the case, 01:09:23.920 --> 01:09:27.440 but then get a speed up earlier on, right? Rush the building, get to the roof, pop the 01:09:27.440 --> 01:09:31.320 hatch, get in that building immediately. Now we're going to see if it's boring, make 01:09:31.320 --> 01:09:55.680 your current annotations and not lose the round the same way. 01:10:01.320 --> 01:10:06.000 I mean, they're already at the pace here. 01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:11.040 They're cranked on the roof, they got the hatches, started turning down as well for Intel. 01:10:11.040 --> 01:10:12.040 They got the Monty. 01:10:12.040 --> 01:10:14.640 This is a crime kind of cafe ranked attack. 01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:19.880 Freeze the left-hand side here of the red wall, it's not steerable from Cigar and the 01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:22.480 new hatch air and then she wipes in the door, which of course they're watching. 01:10:22.480 --> 01:10:27.360 Then you can send in Monty down the red hatch, it's once you drone below him for that vertical 01:10:27.360 --> 01:10:31.240 C4 and then start getting constant information on piano. 01:10:31.240 --> 01:10:33.600 This is often how you're gonna do this as an attacker. 01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:37.940 It plays heavy off the window repels and heavy off the monkey operator. 01:10:37.940 --> 01:10:41.440 The only thing right now that I don't like is that they're double triple droning everything, 01:10:41.440 --> 01:10:44.720 almost like they're expecting it to be a bait play. 01:10:44.720 --> 01:10:46.740 When right now we see that it's not a bait. 01:10:46.740 --> 01:10:51.040 There's no real trapping sappy, there's no Goliath canisters, no C4 downstairs hiding 01:10:51.040 --> 01:10:52.400 in the corner somewhere. 01:10:52.400 --> 01:10:53.400 What you see is what you get. 01:10:53.400 --> 01:10:57.480 So we gotta see Tenor now make good work of the clock and good work of the monkey. 01:10:57.480 --> 01:11:00.960 He's done so, he's taking out all of the new chambers. 01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:04.480 My question is, do they actually clear the castle barricade in the side of the cave? 01:11:04.480 --> 01:11:05.480 Yeah. 01:11:05.480 --> 01:11:07.480 Or do they leave it open to protect themselves a little bit? 01:11:07.480 --> 01:11:08.480 That's a good question. 01:11:08.480 --> 01:11:12.480 It does make the garbage of the kill blocks rather getting tossed out from babes now, 01:11:12.480 --> 01:11:16.480 so you can do damage, walking through the way, chance to find a channel, counterwhiting 01:11:16.480 --> 01:11:18.480 piano as well, channeling the windows and cigar. 01:11:18.480 --> 01:11:21.480 Yeah, well, this is an aggressive play from Chaz. 01:11:21.480 --> 01:11:25.480 He gets behind the monty that's big, but I don't think he'll have the chance to. 01:11:25.480 --> 01:11:30.760 fall. I'll leave a little bit of pressure from the windows here, colors and 01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:35.080 Sunstrike. The Asami is buying them a bit of time, the DMRs will make quick work 01:11:35.080 --> 01:11:39.120 of those Keeper Barriers, but look at this re-aggression here from BJ, wants to 01:11:39.120 --> 01:11:45.760 try and stab the Monty in the back, but forced now back by the E1D of the Lion. 01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:51.840 The HL Torio really screwed him out. Shaz is literally kissing Sunstrike, but 01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:55.840 doesn't see him and will fall swinging around the corner there must have been 01:11:55.840 --> 01:12:00.400 some kind of sound cover that's a big play to lose now I hit your tari in the 01:12:00.400 --> 01:12:06.080 3v3 20 seconds to a candle for a plant big to meet that skylight on the long bar 01:12:06.080 --> 01:12:11.240 it's handle doesn't seem around things we doesn't know oh just info all right that's 01:12:11.240 --> 01:12:16.400 one kill but shadow comes in to stab the Monty in the back it's all up to killer 01:12:16.400 --> 01:12:21.680 and he will fall to big J big play from the big J I'm real nightmare looking very 01:12:21.680 --> 01:12:29.040 locked in at the top floor defense. I mean again it's Hazel Tori wanting to do the right 01:12:29.040 --> 01:12:34.320 thing kind of doing the right thing but then making one small mistake which you cannot afford 01:12:34.320 --> 01:12:40.320 to at this level of play. They don't have enough window pressure. They had a singular person on 01:12:40.320 --> 01:12:45.200 window rappel and it didn't open up the mini window fully. There's a small crack in it in 01:12:45.200 --> 01:12:49.760 the barricade. You got a first thing pop all the windows now they're open. If you want to go for 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:52.200 for a repel swing, you totally can. 01:12:52.200 --> 01:12:54.880 We're gonna get one on mini and one on stage repel. 01:12:54.880 --> 01:12:57.240 That means two people are repelling on piano windows 01:12:57.240 --> 01:12:59.040 because they're the ones that are gonna take the fights 01:12:59.040 --> 01:13:01.040 against Isami in piano itself. 01:13:01.040 --> 01:13:02.840 It's not gonna be the previously guard 01:13:02.840 --> 01:13:03.760 that should take the fights 01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:06.400 because again we've got skylights, guard, the red flank. 01:13:06.400 --> 01:13:08.640 It's too many wing things to be worried about 01:13:08.640 --> 01:13:10.080 in such a small space. 01:13:10.080 --> 01:13:11.680 Angel Tori will call at that time up. 01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:14.360 We see her born right now, getting very involved. 01:13:14.360 --> 01:13:16.440 And I think it's gonna be about the basic channel 01:13:16.440 --> 01:13:17.280 for the minstrels. 01:13:17.280 --> 01:13:18.260 We know what we should be doing. 01:13:18.260 --> 01:13:19.300 Let's do it boys. 01:13:21.660 --> 01:13:23.740 Yeah, wow, I quite like that. 01:13:23.740 --> 01:13:26.580 A lot of help from Vaughn, who, yeah, 01:13:26.580 --> 01:13:31.380 Vaughn has been previously in the Tysene working with Fury 01:13:31.380 --> 01:13:34.820 for a very long time, you know, at events like the 01:13:34.820 --> 01:13:37.540 Copenhagen Major, the Atlanta Major, 01:13:37.540 --> 01:13:40.380 the Systematationals in the past. 01:13:40.380 --> 01:13:43.020 I've been, yeah, really impressed by the fact 01:13:43.020 --> 01:13:45.260 that he's now moved on to another team. 01:13:45.260 --> 01:13:46.460 I actually didn't know about this, 01:13:46.460 --> 01:13:52.220 So it's pretty cool to see, Vaughn has also gone by the name Madduck Ranger in the past 01:13:52.220 --> 01:13:57.060 since I believe he's the same person, yeah, it is, just have to check that. 01:13:57.060 --> 01:14:00.180 That's really cool, I actually didn't know that Vaughn was working with H.L.Tauri. 01:14:00.180 --> 01:14:09.260 He's got a bit of experience in the coach's side but there also can be like a point of 01:14:09.260 --> 01:14:12.060 conflict in the way or maybe a bit of stress. 01:14:12.060 --> 01:14:19.060 I mean, obviously we've seen this with Dark, for example, joining APEC Norford, BNK, FIRIX, Fabian joining PC talent. 01:14:19.060 --> 01:14:25.060 When your coach has so much knowledge, like let's say high level siege, but you are a younger roster, 01:14:25.060 --> 01:14:28.060 you're not going to play high level just yet, that's not the goal is, you know, long term. 01:14:28.060 --> 01:14:33.060 It can be like, guys, how do we mess it up, right? How do we not have a second-guide piano appellate? 01:14:33.060 --> 01:14:39.060 We talked about this a thousand times, we did it in scrims, we had it in debrief yesterday, like, that's very often how these conversations can go. 01:14:39.060 --> 01:14:44.500 And it's a big difference of being a coach watching the players play without pressure of being in the server, 01:14:44.500 --> 01:14:49.300 just having full overview, right, without any emotional investment. 01:14:49.300 --> 01:14:56.340 First being in the server, spawn peek, C4s, getting run out on, call outs, five people yapping in your ear, 01:14:56.340 --> 01:15:01.460 and locking it lost in the chaos of a round, even if you're a very high level team. 01:15:01.460 --> 01:15:04.900 We see this even in the pilot regions of EUNA, for example, 01:15:04.900 --> 01:15:09.460 where despite speaking the same language, despite playing for years, some things get missed. 01:15:10.100 --> 01:15:13.860 So I want to see the Toric and I'll shout out what we call the fundamentals, the basics, 01:15:13.860 --> 01:15:17.620 because they just need to show us clean bounce. Win or lose, that's one thing, 01:15:17.620 --> 01:15:19.140 but they gotta show us they can get there. 01:15:25.380 --> 01:15:32.980 What's the play here? Pei Chiltari to floor control. Shadows spotted by Sunstrike. 01:15:32.980 --> 01:15:36.680 Eventually he shoots off that drone. He's gonna get no actually. He's gonna stop 01:15:37.060 --> 01:15:39.940 Wait for he wants me flash bang will force him back 01:15:40.220 --> 01:15:46.660 But thankfully for him at the long trap will keep the attacker at bay for just long enough to give him a chance to fall back 01:15:46.660 --> 01:15:53.000 And there's no one outside garage. Hmm. Yeah, he's safely back down onto the ground floor with the rest of his team 01:15:54.100 --> 01:15:58.680 So this is a small mini game. That's a kind of like a 50 50 for teams 01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:03.320 Do you send the player outside Garrett's door or breach to catch the white stairs rotation? 01:16:03.320 --> 01:16:09.000 Well, the breach opened over there with a secondary cannon opener, so they did apply a bit of pressure, but they didn't have a gun there. 01:16:09.160 --> 01:16:16.600 Now, they were gonna get double swung if there was a guy on that breach, because both the Goyo and Shadow of Thorn swung that angle together. 01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:23.160 And it's actually why we have these teams not actually have a person watching that callback, because you are exposed to element. 01:16:23.160 --> 01:16:29.320 So if you go to get a 5v5 bombsite execute, you false-fight the roamers and you say, 01:16:29.320 --> 01:16:32.120 we're gonna let you live, or we're not gonna lose an attacker either. 01:16:32.120 --> 01:16:35.320 If you go to get kills, because you don't need to play for a 5v5 execute, 01:16:35.320 --> 01:16:39.160 you can then risk having a player bottom-wide staircase go to that kill, 01:16:39.160 --> 01:16:41.320 but you might just lose the play for free. 01:16:41.320 --> 01:16:45.960 So this is very conscious decisions by Angel Tori staying, we want him to play for execute. 01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:48.920 This doesn't work the same way with A, Z, E, B, and Atherma, 01:16:48.920 --> 01:16:51.320 you can't get the hatch with the can opener on the side, 01:16:51.320 --> 01:16:54.560 We're gonna try and get the kite hold, a little bit of substruction 01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:58.820 And Nate is probably safer to do this with, and they're gonna try that now, and they're pulling for the wrong side 01:16:58.820 --> 01:17:01.820 But it does work, surprisingly not actually 01:17:01.820 --> 01:17:06.480 And they can get the hatch, cause there's 15 seconds left, they gotta go right now 01:17:06.480 --> 01:17:10.480 Sunstrike's gonna have to go big, but he does find a big opening, Shadow will trade him on back 01:17:10.480 --> 01:17:15.860 I'm gonna be right there, looking to lock down on the bomb side with this much fire and smoke as they can 01:17:15.860 --> 01:17:20.020 But Tenno goes deep with the SMT-12, he clears out the AP, looks for another one, but Wag will trade him back 01:17:20.020 --> 01:17:24.500 Ragnar has to go for a big flank as Chathamnig is able to get that plant confirmed. 01:17:24.500 --> 01:17:31.300 Now it's a post plant, but a difficult one for Hiltori and yet they overcome 15 seconds to play 01:17:31.300 --> 01:17:35.140 and still upstairs but they drop into site and they get the job done. 01:17:36.740 --> 01:17:42.820 That is not an easy push to make happen. 18 seconds left when he started breaching the hatch, 01:17:42.820 --> 01:17:48.340 it was breach, turnaround, bow up a counter, fire, fire, smoke, smoke, drop down, 01:17:48.340 --> 01:17:54.240 Look at the call push bottom white push bottom red go for the diffuser and create chaos in the server 01:17:54.240 --> 01:18:01.020 Because so many things are happening at once. I mean, this is the first time we've seen a total re in the entire 01:18:01.020 --> 01:18:09.600 Save for kickoff right last week and this map so far go for a chaotic in your face 3 2 1 play and there are fours to do it 01:18:09.680 --> 01:18:15.160 That wasn't what they wanted to do, but they realized guys we have to because there's no more time, but they did it so well 01:18:15.160 --> 01:18:20.720 everybody worked together it's the benefit of one having a lion because it 01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:25.240 gives you a countdown timer in the game and the second is when you only 01:18:25.240 --> 01:18:30.520 have 18 seconds to go you gotta go but it can like fall back so beautiful 01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:33.880 stuff and I'm a huge clutching around for a team 01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:40.960 it's not meant to be 01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:44.840 over the ban yeah third over the ban I was thinking what the in-game comment was 01:18:44.840 --> 01:18:49.720 and I was thinking, no, we did do a red advance, but obviously there's a third happening. 01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:54.040 Interesting. Oh well, I guess we'll jump on that very quickly, I'm sure. 01:18:55.000 --> 01:18:59.000 But yeah, I mean that feels like one of the most important rounds of the game that we've played 01:18:59.000 --> 01:19:04.280 so far. For me, PENGUIA, I feel like often games will have, obviously we play a lot of rounds, 01:19:04.280 --> 01:19:09.320 you know, minimum of 7, maximum of 15 in a normal game before we get into the overtime. 01:19:09.320 --> 01:19:12.840 But not each one of those rounds has an equal weight. Yes, on the scoreboard, 01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:19.800 every round matters the same but sometimes a round feels like it has this extra influence 01:19:19.800 --> 01:19:25.000 because in that case for HLTARI, I mean they on paper should have definitely lost that round 01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:33.240 and I think the fact that they won it out of nowhere tells me that yeah there is just no way 01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:38.680 that they're not gonna back themselves in in any situation from here and that doesn't matter if 01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:46.680 If it's 4v4 there's no time left and there's still U2 on the bomb site to clear out, they're just going to back themselves in because they've done it once, why can't they do it again? 01:19:52.680 --> 01:20:04.680 They're going to slow one again, and he'll tory again, because if they can play slow but get to the 5v5 and go very good, they're actually capable of pulling off that kind of round place. 01:20:04.680 --> 01:20:09.880 But I want again this window rappel. Oh, I see more window rappels. That's where they felt shot before 01:20:10.380 --> 01:20:17.040 But with this pull scanner they have perfect information on where to jump out of gonna go for it or when how many people are on that 01:20:17.040 --> 01:20:22.700 Rappel we know the Shastam South is a very good chance of hip firing the groups of twist lesson in a second run 01:20:22.700 --> 01:20:24.700 He is there and nice 01:20:24.760 --> 01:20:29.120 It's actually interesting you did get a chance to aim the outsides for just a brief moment 01:20:29.120 --> 01:20:32.600 That would have helped his hip fire accuracy quite a lot just unscoping 01:20:34.680 --> 01:20:39.400 But the trade is is fine like I feel like Chaz is still happy to take that exchange 01:20:41.400 --> 01:20:45.520 This is a free kill for K3. It should be maybe more than one 01:20:46.680 --> 01:20:48.680 What? 01:20:49.800 --> 01:20:53.240 How do you let that one slip by a both plays? 01:20:53.880 --> 01:20:59.000 I mean he knows exactly what's just happening. He knows he's cooked it. He knows he's absolutely choked it 01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:03.000 Oh, he's turning the baby away with the bath water now. 01:21:03.000 --> 01:21:07.000 HLTARI, 4v3, this is their chance to tie the scoreline. 01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:12.000 No more full C4, but they got Goyal Fire, the single toxic baby pocket. 01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:14.000 Run as Smoke stays alive here. 01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:17.000 There's a serious potential for a round win still on the nightmare. 01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:19.000 Months of old as last smoke actually, okay? 01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:22.000 So, timer will be low before the push comes to shove. 01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:24.000 Goyal Fire on the door. 01:21:24.000 --> 01:21:26.000 20 seconds left. 01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:30.000 They can stall things out absolutely here, but he dies before they can do it to the verticality. 01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:31.000 Uh-oh. 01:21:31.000 --> 01:21:32.000 That makes it harder. 01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:33.000 Hey, Tiltari. 01:21:33.000 --> 01:21:35.000 Yeah, interesting close of the bomb site. 01:21:35.000 --> 01:21:36.000 They have that vertical pressure. 01:21:36.000 --> 01:21:41.000 Shadow has to go miraculously big, but he's got a Monty to worry about as well. 01:21:41.000 --> 01:21:45.000 Shadow's found two big kills, but a big spray through the wall from Killer with the Monty, 01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:47.000 and he is fired up after that. 01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:52.000 Five rounds apiece as we reach breakpoint. 01:21:56.000 --> 01:22:00.340 Hey, so touring the late round with a little time. I mean, maybe that's their their element dude 01:22:00.340 --> 01:22:02.340 Maybe that's where they fire up the most 01:22:02.420 --> 01:22:07.540 Whenever saw them survive this deep into the round up against elevated due to elevates place 01:22:07.540 --> 01:22:11.840 I love being so aggressive early in the game. I'm your nightmare. They've been a bit 01:22:12.280 --> 01:22:16.080 slower to the punch. They still start first at the jump out the question 01:22:16.080 --> 01:22:18.440 But this right here, I mean that could just be the moment where 01:22:18.920 --> 01:22:23.280 Things fell apart. I think KB forgot to reload after shooting towards the Monty and 01:22:23.280 --> 01:22:26.500 And only took that fight with like 13 bush in the magazine 01:22:26.940 --> 01:22:31.540 It's a bit of an unfortunate circumstance that they had one as a tacker for that initial push 01:22:31.960 --> 01:22:36.800 That is one this angle to worry about if you're that smoke or the glue by the bomb site 01:22:38.680 --> 01:22:40.680 Hmm 01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:43.760 So we can confirm the operator bands have actually been 01:22:44.960 --> 01:22:52.060 Maybe they just haven't come up on the overlay so the band by unreal nightmare for the attackers is the Montaigne 01:22:52.060 --> 01:23:02.640 makes sense and the bad from Haltari to the defense is the pulse okay I don't hate the 01:23:02.640 --> 01:23:06.780 post but I will say this and I mean the operatives you played already solos and 01:23:06.780 --> 01:23:12.180 poles kind of play the same role obviously poses I often see four beneath 01:23:12.180 --> 01:23:16.660 you know vertical pressures are killing whereas the solos usually like flanking 01:23:16.660 --> 01:23:20.180 and knowing people are droning from but they kind of play the maiden the previous 01:23:20.180 --> 01:23:25.460 round you know getting in from the person under a pall. So look at the same thing if the drone 01:23:25.460 --> 01:23:30.100 in that equipment was and you can also go for runouts now and bake your double door to my windows 01:23:30.100 --> 01:23:35.220 if you can't know there's no claymore airjab so that certainly is a possibility of the pulse being 01:23:35.220 --> 01:23:40.260 one to one replaced by the solace and then the band doesn't do a lot but they should 01:23:40.260 --> 01:23:44.340 just save her from the vertical c4 so that's good. Yeah the guy that jumped out last round was the 01:23:44.340 --> 01:23:48.980 denier did he have info from the pulse? I thought it was just a sound cue. No so pulse was below 01:23:48.980 --> 01:23:55.400 No one minding scanning and it's kind of unlucky because he died to Nomad and Nomad literally went on the repel 01:23:55.520 --> 01:23:59.020 The same second he jumped out. They didn't know what's probably the angle 01:24:00.540 --> 01:24:02.140 At least he got his kill 01:24:02.140 --> 01:24:07.740 Yeah, maybe I would say that's worth it. Again, then now I put down all these traps the lasers and then jumped out 01:24:07.740 --> 01:24:11.540 It's a one-for-one. That's good. And if Altey Burson missed the gunfight and star 01:24:11.760 --> 01:24:16.300 You're playing 4v3 with a Monty alive who is Ken, Mrs. Edula against you 01:24:16.300 --> 01:24:19.980 So, the Monty could have easily fallen to the Valkyrie as well now. 01:24:19.980 --> 01:24:24.140 Speaking of Monty, while the pulse has been replaced by the Solace, 01:24:24.140 --> 01:24:26.220 the Monty has been replaced by the Blackbeard. 01:24:26.220 --> 01:24:30.700 We saw how good Unreal Light there were on their attacking half with that DB. 01:24:30.700 --> 01:24:33.340 Let's see if Tenno can be just as good. 01:24:33.340 --> 01:24:36.540 The Nades are certainly a big help as well for the Blackbeard. 01:24:38.540 --> 01:24:44.460 The difficulty is that Monty is not an as easily replaceable operator by all the skills. 01:24:44.460 --> 01:24:49.260 most of you here in cafe because you know that's safe you can extend your shield and walk around 01:24:49.260 --> 01:24:55.020 you're very prone to a vertical c4 prone to impact grenades. Tenno has to be a bit more cautious now 01:24:55.020 --> 01:24:59.900 and really uses teammates on the window repels and guns behind him so that anybody swings him and 01:24:59.900 --> 01:25:05.260 tries to go for a fight he has backup he can't just walk in super deep like he was with Monty 01:25:05.260 --> 01:25:09.980 without any support then he will die most likely we're seeing them getting very active here from 01:25:09.980 --> 01:25:14.780 on your nightmare. They got a C4 below, it washes the piano, they got two people in together, 01:25:14.780 --> 01:25:19.260 around cigar and piano, it keeps us well. They want to deny them the map space with 01:25:19.260 --> 01:25:24.220 that Monty Ben, no one in the camp is walking for free. C4 went up and below and it finds 01:25:24.220 --> 01:25:26.780 nothing, turns you to perfectly. 01:25:26.780 --> 01:25:32.340 That's the idea though. How do they get past the Izami's kick-a-barriers though? There's 01:25:32.340 --> 01:25:39.620 a crossfire to worry about. Hello Izami. He has no nades as well to use. The impact 01:25:39.620 --> 01:25:45.460 does a lot of damage. He's now quite low. Oh, that's so unfortunate. The Nade from Sunstrike 01:25:45.460 --> 01:25:51.660 into washrooms, Blackbeard walks straight into it and now a 2v5. Good luck, Sunstrike 01:25:51.660 --> 01:25:58.260 and Hawks last. Now Hawks is the last one left in a 1v5. He will go down and it is a 01:25:58.260 --> 01:26:02.980 flawless round for Unreal Night Now as they finally clinch match point. 01:26:02.980 --> 01:26:08.980 I mean, the multiband is instrumental and I think we saw it to great effect. 01:26:08.980 --> 01:26:09.980 There are ten of them. 01:26:09.980 --> 01:26:14.580 The moment you walk into piano, you get shot from the freezer wall being opened up. 01:26:14.580 --> 01:26:15.580 Piano pixel. 01:26:15.580 --> 01:26:20.100 The Cifa was throwing the impacts and while he did die to a teammate grenade in the end, 01:26:20.100 --> 01:26:24.540 there were like one or two more impact grenades waiting for him a second later. 01:26:24.540 --> 01:26:26.780 There were two people ready to swing him. 01:26:26.780 --> 01:26:28.280 He probably dies regardless. 01:26:28.280 --> 01:26:32.420 While it does look silly to die to a teammate grenade, I don't think ten will live the second 01:26:32.420 --> 01:26:38.500 walks into bathroom obviously. And that's the thing, like you said this yourself in the beginning 01:26:38.500 --> 01:26:43.860 of this map. It's a lot about flexibility and how many different operators you're able to bring. 01:26:43.860 --> 01:26:48.420 Let's say you're a phenomenal monkey team but you're not good with Blackbeard blades etc. 01:26:48.420 --> 01:26:53.300 That means the monkey band has a much greater effect on you as an individual and as a team 01:26:53.300 --> 01:26:58.100 because you don't have that other shoot up. But if you're spirits or if you're hungry, 01:26:58.100 --> 01:27:02.580 right? North American European player doesn't matter what's your Japan. They'll play the three other 01:27:02.580 --> 01:27:07.300 ones at the same exact skill level and the team can play around it all the same. So it really 01:27:07.300 --> 01:27:12.580 goes the question with Hazel Tori. Are they one of those teams right now that crush the Monty 01:27:12.580 --> 01:27:18.100 because it gives them the thing they're lacking? Taking map control map space without losing bodies? 01:27:18.100 --> 01:27:22.260 Because now they're having the update for a shield. Tenno's and Dokkaebi. And Tenno did the same 01:27:22.260 --> 01:27:28.020 against Elevate where he plays Dokkaebi as like a roam clear kind of lurk entry, but they didn't 01:27:28.020 --> 01:27:33.620 It didn't work at all. It has been channeled and shows it's been the most successful for the roster. Now he's off of it. 01:27:33.620 --> 01:27:37.620 So I'm curious what the result is going to net because the battle match point 5-6 01:27:37.620 --> 01:27:39.620 needs to be around the beneath of it. 01:27:41.120 --> 01:27:48.420 And this game would be over if HLTORI hadn't won that impossible execute the last time they attacked this bombsite. 01:27:48.420 --> 01:27:52.920 Of course it was what 15 seconds when they decided to finally drop the hatch and go for an execute. 01:27:52.920 --> 01:27:57.320 And it was very close. Underlight net would favour to win that round. 01:27:57.320 --> 01:28:03.520 They would be over if HLTory hadn't pulled that rabbit out of the hut. They have to now do it again for a chance at overtime. 01:28:07.220 --> 01:28:08.520 We're gonna make their entry. 01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:14.920 Yes, these two chains are being used to like start the grapple animation at close window, open up so many cool things. 01:28:14.920 --> 01:28:20.820 The sledge hotbeaks, the ram hotbeaks, shooting up the window with a DMR or any weapon that has a good amount of bullets. 01:28:20.820 --> 01:28:25.860 don't see it used a lot often but it practically has no real sound cue because 01:28:25.860 --> 01:28:29.660 you don't hear the rapid animations of the window glass shatters so it's quite 01:28:29.660 --> 01:28:33.220 neat and quite like it 01:28:34.820 --> 01:28:38.520 tenor's on the run clear he's about to get a dirt can be cold in just a few 01:28:38.520 --> 01:28:45.500 seconds yeah I mean you do but you don't right I mean if you're not mayor 01:28:45.500 --> 01:28:48.620 you're baiting the second call before falling back he is gonna go for it then 01:28:48.620 --> 01:28:52.300 You just fall back for free now. He's either a sacrifice shadow or you try and help it 01:28:52.300 --> 01:28:57.140 But I think he's just gonna be trading one for one or trying to at least the answer pretty quickly to them 01:28:57.140 --> 01:28:59.140 I don't know is here actually 01:29:06.500 --> 01:29:11.100 They know there's someone here, but they had to reinforce right if the head is reinforced 01:29:11.100 --> 01:29:13.100 I should know that he's still somewhere 01:29:13.100 --> 01:29:15.100 I'm gonna try to run again. 01:29:15.100 --> 01:29:16.100 Bit of damage on the 10-0. 01:29:16.100 --> 01:29:18.100 Ah, good wall bang though from Shadamnit. 01:29:18.100 --> 01:29:23.100 That is very prompt from Haltari to finally deal with this Roma. 01:29:23.100 --> 01:29:25.100 Next step is opening up this hatch. 01:29:25.100 --> 01:29:27.100 And first, that means clearing the Kaid claw, 01:29:27.100 --> 01:29:29.100 which took them a little bit of time. 01:29:29.100 --> 01:29:30.100 Last round they needed the Nade, 01:29:30.100 --> 01:29:32.100 but the EMP comes through this time. 01:29:32.100 --> 01:29:34.100 It does make things a lot faster. 01:29:34.100 --> 01:29:35.100 Much better. 01:29:35.100 --> 01:29:37.100 Now 40 seconds left to play. 01:29:37.100 --> 01:29:40.100 This is quicker than the last time Haltari attacked this comp site. 01:29:40.100 --> 01:29:45.520 Better get a deep clock angle here from the top right wall getting opened up that can see down to the verticality 01:29:45.520 --> 01:29:50.900 That's great hatch open the only thing they're missing for this to be clinical perfect is that look at the call 01:29:50.900 --> 01:29:55.100 They spent both for the room clear, but it's how they got the kill and it's how they got into this position in the first place 01:29:55.100 --> 01:29:58.160 It's better to use the util and get to the late round and not get there at all 01:29:58.380 --> 01:30:00.820 Tenor will hit the back step while it will be 01:30:01.500 --> 01:30:05.060 Gonna be cast in the server three two one 01:30:05.060 --> 01:30:07.060 It's time for Gorgorys. 01:30:07.060 --> 01:30:09.060 Now comes the DMR from Tenno. 01:30:09.060 --> 01:30:11.060 He needs to have a big impact, but Wag takes him down. 01:30:11.060 --> 01:30:15.060 It's time for Wag to spring into action now on the Kaeyi holding onto Whiskey Bar. 01:30:15.060 --> 01:30:17.060 But the plan is time to go down with less than a second on the cost. 01:30:17.060 --> 01:30:20.060 Jadamn keeps on forcing it down. 01:30:20.060 --> 01:30:23.060 Bitkillers is watching. He's found a double. 01:30:23.060 --> 01:30:24.060 Hawks last as well. 01:30:24.060 --> 01:30:27.060 Shaz is the last one standing, 01:30:27.060 --> 01:30:31.060 but HLT will push us deep and into overtime. 01:30:31.060 --> 01:30:38.820 The Kings of Kitchen attacked with no time left on the clock, this time things were imperfect. 01:30:38.820 --> 01:30:43.780 They lose the opening duel, Tenno, Backstabber first to fall, but they killed a smoke on 01:30:43.780 --> 01:30:47.340 the bomb site shortly after, meaning no plant denial. 01:30:47.340 --> 01:30:50.900 So the plant is safe to go down on 0 seconds. 01:30:50.900 --> 01:30:55.220 They add the flying watch, they add the viricality, they caught the player, sprinting on the bomb 01:30:55.220 --> 01:31:00.020 site, trying to go for that final kill, I mean it's excellent. 01:31:00.020 --> 01:31:05.740 double droning like the big thing for me is they drone the dining they saw the 01:31:05.740 --> 01:31:10.020 hatch was reinforced and electrified and they went to guys wasn't there a rumor 01:31:10.020 --> 01:31:13.500 earlier they go yes there was well he couldn't have fallen back we see you 01:31:13.500 --> 01:31:18.540 brown red and white stairs and hatch reinforced there is no way for him to 01:31:18.540 --> 01:31:23.500 not but to yeah to not be here he has to be here so they double drone library 01:31:23.500 --> 01:31:28.100 Sunstrike originally missed him with the drone but they went double chicken he 01:31:28.100 --> 01:31:29.580 It has to be somewhere. 01:31:29.580 --> 01:31:34.780 That literally can win you or lose you the round. 01:31:34.780 --> 01:31:39.180 I think Shadowman has picked Soulless illegally here, so we're only going to have to restart 01:31:39.180 --> 01:31:40.180 this around. 01:31:40.180 --> 01:31:42.180 I mean, you could just play without the gadget. 01:31:42.180 --> 01:31:44.180 I'm just saying, you could play without the gadget. 01:31:44.180 --> 01:31:48.780 It doesn't have to be the purpose of Soulless, and you just have to work with the Panandians 01:31:48.780 --> 01:31:49.780 faster by then. 01:31:49.780 --> 01:31:56.100 Thankfully, we are obviously not the people who made that call, so we'll get that sorted 01:31:56.100 --> 01:31:57.100 out. 01:31:57.100 --> 01:32:02.700 We'll let you guys know what happens, but of course as a reminder the operator bands are 01:32:03.940 --> 01:32:05.940 Who's on the tech? 01:32:06.140 --> 01:32:11.080 Solace a really mirror yeah, and then on the attack. It's ying capital lion 01:32:11.540 --> 01:32:15.620 Yes, that is correct. Was that from memory or did you ever done? I haven't written down 01:32:16.220 --> 01:32:19.260 It's in it's in our group chat our admin posted it 01:32:19.260 --> 01:32:23.740 I know but I you know I personally I'm like, you know, I like chaos 01:32:23.740 --> 01:32:26.620 I try and play off the mind game or the memory game first 01:32:27.100 --> 01:32:29.140 I know, but like, wait, that doesn't sound right. Let me check. 01:32:29.140 --> 01:32:31.980 I see you are correct as well from my memory check. 01:32:31.980 --> 01:32:34.220 Well, it's hard to remember because obviously we're into overtime, 01:32:34.220 --> 01:32:37.740 which means we've gone a long time since we were having 01:32:37.740 --> 01:32:41.140 unlimited on the attack and HLT on the defense. 01:32:41.140 --> 01:32:44.540 So, for example, Grim, I thought for a second that Grim was banned, 01:32:44.540 --> 01:32:47.180 but that was actually banned on the opposite side. 01:32:47.180 --> 01:32:49.460 That was banned when HLT were on the attack, 01:32:49.460 --> 01:32:52.340 alongside the Ying and the Monty. 01:32:52.340 --> 01:32:54.900 But no, so in terms of this upcoming next round, 01:32:54.900 --> 01:32:59.660 It's getting capital lion banned for Unreal Nightmare or like from Unreal Nightmare. 01:32:59.660 --> 01:33:01.600 They're not allowed to play those on Raiders. 01:33:01.600 --> 01:33:06.160 Mira already solos banned for HLT's defense. 01:33:06.800 --> 01:33:09.400 Yeah, that checks out. 01:33:11.100 --> 01:33:12.460 Now, all right, we got a second. 01:33:12.460 --> 01:33:15.000 I want to ask you, I want to talk about the announced changes. 01:33:15.160 --> 01:33:16.100 So thoughts. 01:33:16.600 --> 01:33:19.160 We've got grim change, right? 01:33:19.400 --> 01:33:23.400 OK, grim change is double because this is the grim nerf and he desperately needs a nerf. 01:33:23.400 --> 01:33:31.400 I don't know how long the deployment delay is, but it could be more like a ying or a sentence where you can shoot the gadget for a good amount of time before opening. 01:33:31.400 --> 01:33:38.400 If that's the case, you gotta use the grim bees a bit more safely around the corners and such, you can just shoot them deep into the bomb site, so that's probably a change. 01:33:40.400 --> 01:33:42.400 What else? What about the list? 01:33:42.400 --> 01:33:50.400 Our gates is now like a further distance, and they're a bit quicker to deploy for your teammates, but much slower for the defenders. 01:33:50.400 --> 01:33:55.800 like when you click the target the button yes to open and close the game I 01:33:55.800 --> 01:34:00.520 feel like that is not gonna make a huge difference a lot of people are getting 01:34:00.520 --> 01:34:04.500 pretty hot bad right I love Rayora I feel like she's still gonna be pretty 01:34:04.500 --> 01:34:08.320 niche and only on specific both sides until you make a more general change 01:34:08.320 --> 01:34:14.040 like for example allowing you to use them on windows like perhaps I think that 01:34:14.040 --> 01:34:18.480 would completely change the game for Rayora just because at the moment similar 01:34:18.480 --> 01:34:23.100 the castle. There's only so many places you can put those gadgets. The other day I was 01:34:23.100 --> 01:34:29.740 playing bank defense and I wanted to go and put an Aruni gate on the basement door into 01:34:29.740 --> 01:34:32.920 elevator because I was like, well, what if they push elevator? I want them to be slowed 01:34:32.920 --> 01:34:36.980 down. Then I realized that's not actually a normal doorframe. So you can't even put 01:34:36.980 --> 01:34:41.580 an Aruni gate on it. You can't put a castle barricade on it. And there are a lot of other 01:34:41.580 --> 01:34:47.420 places around, for example, border where they changed in the border rework. In the long 01:34:47.420 --> 01:34:54.100 In one way they made a lot more areas barricadeable and therefore runigatable and castle barricadeable 01:34:54.100 --> 01:34:57.100 and also Ryora-able. 01:34:57.100 --> 01:35:01.780 But yeah, I think that if Ryora was able to use her gadget in more places that would 01:35:01.780 --> 01:35:04.020 perhaps see her get a little bit more play. 01:35:04.020 --> 01:35:06.820 But yeah, I don't know, that would make a huge difference. 01:35:06.820 --> 01:35:10.980 We have Smokeshield returning supposedly, which is a bit controversial because it took 01:35:10.980 --> 01:35:13.660 too long time to remove that shield. 01:35:13.660 --> 01:35:17.500 In the current state of smoke, I don't think it's bad that he gets it back again. 01:35:17.500 --> 01:35:18.860 But that's happening. 01:35:18.860 --> 01:35:22.220 Jackaboth getting grenades, and he can scan footprints really quickly from above. 01:35:23.660 --> 01:35:27.420 Frostboth, if you get hit by a Frostmad, you're now for 70 seconds. 01:35:27.420 --> 01:35:28.620 You cannot sprint, it was 60. 01:35:28.620 --> 01:35:29.580 So it takes like this longer. 01:35:30.860 --> 01:35:32.700 Here comes the big controversy, okay? 01:35:33.420 --> 01:35:37.900 Flashboth, you can stop the people for five seconds longer. 01:35:37.900 --> 01:35:39.820 So five seconds longer battery. 01:35:39.820 --> 01:35:40.940 What happened here? 01:35:40.940 --> 01:35:42.540 How did we get to this point? 01:35:42.540 --> 01:35:44.540 How is Clash getting buffed? 01:35:44.540 --> 01:35:48.540 Have you ever seen the Win Delta graphics in the recent seasons? 01:35:48.540 --> 01:35:50.540 Sure. Okay. Yeah. 01:35:50.540 --> 01:35:54.540 I think it's ranked platinum and above, so it's not professional level. 01:35:54.540 --> 01:36:00.540 But like, let's be real, in a typical ranked game, Clash is not very powerful 01:36:00.540 --> 01:36:03.540 unless if teams are good at using it and playing around it. 01:36:03.540 --> 01:36:06.540 It's not like you just have one good Clash player and then it's over. 01:36:06.540 --> 01:36:09.540 You have to have a good Clash player and people to play around it. 01:36:09.540 --> 01:36:19.540 But of course, if you balance around people who can play the game, you're going to have some very broad operators when people can play the game, then I got a general consensus, right? 01:36:19.540 --> 01:36:32.540 Obviously, I mean, the perfect picture in my mind is your balance for competitive play, generally speaking, you feel like games like Dota and League of Legends are what they do, for example, but you create content for the casual player base. 01:36:32.540 --> 01:36:36.660 I'm not saying that you should make every operator, you know, this or that way, 01:36:36.660 --> 01:36:40.420 Kittering's going to take a bit of the play, but Clash is not a fun operator in solo queue 01:36:40.420 --> 01:36:45.220 rank potential. It's extremely oppressive to play against, whether she wins the round 01:36:45.220 --> 01:36:48.180 or lose the round a lot, because she can't play the game against her, that's kind of 01:36:48.180 --> 01:36:52.980 the issue, right? By Balfurger, you're trying to increase your presence and increase the 01:36:52.980 --> 01:36:58.500 win rate when she's present, and an already unfun operator is in the game and they get 01:36:58.500 --> 01:37:01.940 stronger, it gets even more unfun in my mind at least. 01:37:01.940 --> 01:37:07.300 Oh yeah, I think that's a very fair point and there's always a conversation, especially 01:37:07.300 --> 01:37:11.780 back in the day, like these days, especially with Attack of Repick and with a lot better 01:37:11.780 --> 01:37:15.620 balancing than we had in the past, I hope you agree, but I'm gonna stick with your take. 01:37:15.620 --> 01:37:20.500 We used to have a lot fewer operators play, like back in the day, there was like quite 01:37:20.500 --> 01:37:27.060 a long list of operators that would just blanket useless, never pick. Grim, for example, Thunderbird, 01:37:27.060 --> 01:37:39.780 Yeah, to Shankar. Now there's a very small list of operators that never get played. It's like, you know, you're Thunderbird or whatever, and people often said, well, you know, does every operator have to get picked equally? 01:37:39.780 --> 01:37:43.780 Yeah. Is it okay to have some operators that you only get picked, like, 5% of the time? 01:37:43.780 --> 01:37:56.740 Yeah. And I think Clash is the perfect example of that. You don't want a Clash just as often as you want a Yeager, or a Mira, or a Rooney, or a Two-Rourke, like, you know, it's fine that she gets picked less than everyone else because she's 01:37:56.740 --> 01:38:02.660 so different and if she was played so much the game would be very different and a lot of people 01:38:02.660 --> 01:38:06.820 would find it very frustrating to play against. I like Clash as an operator, I'm glad she exists 01:38:07.380 --> 01:38:13.620 but I just don't want to have her in the game every round, you know? I agree. I think you know 01:38:13.620 --> 01:38:18.340 back when we have like meme operators like Chashanka before they rework them to be competitive 01:38:18.340 --> 01:38:22.900 viable I think it's time to have meme operators. Jagu right now in the current state he's a bit 01:38:22.900 --> 01:38:26.660 of a meme operator because he's useless, right? Another buffing with grenades and stuff to try 01:38:26.660 --> 01:38:31.060 and kind of justify that and then make it more pickable, which I think is fine, but I think it's 01:38:31.060 --> 01:38:35.940 okay that we have literally just weak operators and then literally strong operators and then a 01:38:35.940 --> 01:38:40.580 bunch of operators in the middle that you can pick occasionally for this map, for this playstyle, 01:38:40.580 --> 01:38:46.500 for this bomb site. So I do agree that I think the current balancing pace, tempo and the jump 01:38:46.500 --> 01:38:50.660 they're doing is actually quite good. I'm just questioning that one on clash that's literally... 01:38:50.660 --> 01:38:55.100 Yeah, I personally think look I don't think it'll make much difference. It's a very 01:38:56.220 --> 01:39:00.540 People aren't gonna be like oh, yeah, I can taste for now. I'm stronger now 01:39:00.540 --> 01:39:04.100 I'm gonna pick her and I wasn't gonna pick up before like that's not gonna make much difference 01:39:04.100 --> 01:39:06.100 No, no, no, no the premise of it. I 01:39:06.540 --> 01:39:12.040 Yeah, yes, the premise of it. I absolutely I agree with I just flip side of the conversation 01:39:12.040 --> 01:39:15.500 But talking about underpowered and less pick operators. I don't think we should have any operator 01:39:15.500 --> 01:39:17.240 Which is just a default pick every round 01:39:17.240 --> 01:39:24.120 I think we shouldn't have any operator that you should see every round and you know in the past it was like ash or ace 01:39:24.760 --> 01:39:29.640 These days did back in the day when I was playing around you hated having a heart breach in your team then 01:39:30.480 --> 01:39:34.440 That was different. The game was so the game was so different then 01:39:35.560 --> 01:39:37.560 We only had one heart breach. Oh 01:39:37.840 --> 01:39:39.580 No 01:39:39.580 --> 01:39:44.500 Well in this round only have one heart breach as well, but it's not gonna be your you might it's gonna be your Hibana 01:39:44.500 --> 01:39:47.260 The second hobby is to be released in the game, of course 01:39:47.260 --> 01:39:52.340 They went through my to Banna Maverick an ace my red let me play it back in the day 01:39:53.620 --> 01:39:59.940 And if you were a thermite player back when he bought a launch or the least you'd have been overjoyed 01:40:00.220 --> 01:40:05.140 Because you're not the soul wants to be blamed if you died and yet always the harbinger we can't play the game 01:40:05.140 --> 01:40:08.780 No, no, he added second hobby. So you go, huh, why didn't you play Banna? Huh? 01:40:08.780 --> 01:40:14.060 They double down. Sunstrike doubles down, gets the opening kill onto Shast, removes the Grim, 01:40:14.060 --> 01:40:18.300 has a huge pick here in overtime. Mind you, HLTory has been mounting this comeback, 01:40:18.300 --> 01:40:22.140 starting off strong the first round of OT, taking down the most important operator arguably. 01:40:22.860 --> 01:40:24.220 I mean, it couldn't go much better. 01:40:27.420 --> 01:40:31.020 Especially because HLTory really struggled on their defensive side, 01:40:31.020 --> 01:40:36.300 took everything they had to just barely find three rounds in that first half. We cast your 01:40:36.300 --> 01:40:42.380 my back. Very different story now as Teno's found a second kill for his team on real night there 01:40:42.380 --> 01:40:48.620 to finally get one back it's the one my off big kill though and a bj man this easy really packs 01:40:48.620 --> 01:40:54.300 a punch so much damage a couple of body shots and the sledge is finished off wag needs to try 01:40:54.300 --> 01:41:00.060 and find something you can get C4 out of existence and well shadow is also going to immediately 01:41:00.060 --> 01:41:05.180 fall as well so very convincing defense to kick off overtime for HL tori not only have they pushed 01:41:05.180 --> 01:41:09.580 us the distance, but now they have their very own match point and a little bit 01:41:09.580 --> 01:41:12.780 uncharacteristic there from Unreal Nightmare. I mean they were just a bit 01:41:12.780 --> 01:41:15.580 disjointed, they weren't really watching the angles and the window are 01:41:15.580 --> 01:41:20.140 pals, they didn't really drone cigar for information. It's not like them to die 01:41:20.140 --> 01:41:23.660 early because the way they've been attacking the entirety of regulation is 01:41:23.660 --> 01:41:29.020 five people going together in one area and really playing for late round 01:41:29.020 --> 01:41:32.300 execute. It's been a hateful tour more than anything else, I might have an early 01:41:32.300 --> 01:41:34.980 the depth here and there that Lucifer is confusing. 01:41:34.980 --> 01:41:39.780 So this could also be a question mark of longevity in the map. 01:41:39.780 --> 01:41:42.900 How many rounds can you play at your highest level? 01:41:42.900 --> 01:41:45.100 How many rounds can you play at different strategy? 01:41:45.100 --> 01:41:47.020 How many different counters do you have? 01:41:47.020 --> 01:41:49.020 But every time we've had this discussion 01:41:49.020 --> 01:41:51.020 throughout this map so far, we're always 01:41:51.020 --> 01:41:54.620 questioning H.O.Toryside being the lesser experienced team, 01:41:54.620 --> 01:41:56.740 having the worst results in week one. 01:41:56.740 --> 01:42:00.220 But they have generally had the majority of their rounds 01:42:00.220 --> 01:42:01.220 be various. 01:42:01.220 --> 01:42:05.820 They've had very close rounds, they've had big touches, they've had their whole comeback of course situation happening. 01:42:05.820 --> 01:42:08.820 They've been a very good team today here in Cafe. 01:42:08.820 --> 01:42:13.320 And Unreal Nightmare, they're now in a position where they might lose their first map of Cafe, 01:42:13.320 --> 01:42:19.320 which would be crazy, giving the starting side, giving the results, giving what we expect to happen. 01:42:21.820 --> 01:42:25.820 Now as we can see from the overlay, this is HL Tori's Nat Pink, so... 01:42:25.820 --> 01:42:30.220 Not over, if Unreal Nightmare loses here, they can come back from Cafe, push us to Night Haven, 01:42:30.220 --> 01:42:35.500 But I think it would be a big statement for HLTARI considering they were down what 5-3? 01:42:36.220 --> 01:42:38.220 they were down 6-5 and 01:42:38.500 --> 01:42:42.260 Their first half was very rough on the defensive side 01:42:42.940 --> 01:42:46.780 Now they just need one attack round and it's over 01:42:49.140 --> 01:42:53.060 They have an awkward impact right now because he can vault out and shoot the air jab 01:42:53.060 --> 01:42:59.140 So if he wants to go for that play later Shatter has to impact a running or cross rotation to then shoot the air jab to then go for one out 01:42:59.140 --> 01:43:02.900 So just want to keep in mind if you the air jab go off that might be the reason why 01:43:04.460 --> 01:43:11.320 But this I like the fact that he's setting up the play early trying to disrupt that air jab because he actually destroyed it 01:43:11.700 --> 01:43:15.900 There would be a but not more pressure being felt by Hedel Tori hearing that run out later on 01:43:15.900 --> 01:43:18.660 So if they check with a drone that is in fact from there get there 01:43:18.660 --> 01:43:23.940 They can kind of take in the back of their mind for now. Let's get in there runigates setting up that window play 01:43:23.940 --> 01:43:30.420 and they have a fire, they have 4 now, 3 frag grenades, flower stones, they can very 01:43:30.420 --> 01:43:35.180 likely either get a pick here with utility or get enough map controls to make an entry 01:43:35.180 --> 01:43:40.020 point and they need that because without the Monty they're reliant on all the tools, 01:43:40.020 --> 01:43:42.380 the Chlones it gets against the Barricades, that's perfect. 01:43:42.380 --> 01:43:43.380 Yeah, didn't expect that. 01:43:43.380 --> 01:43:46.900 I don't know how Blackbeard got injured here. 01:43:46.900 --> 01:43:47.900 There's nobody near. 01:43:47.900 --> 01:43:52.340 Oh, there is a solace in bar first floor, so maybe it was just a hidden floor for her. 01:43:52.340 --> 01:43:57.940 No you can't, I mean there's a lip on the roof, no? Or can you walk off into the hatch area? 01:43:59.140 --> 01:44:03.700 I don't know, I actually thought they patched it, because you used a bit to jump up on the corners 01:44:03.700 --> 01:44:08.420 and look straight down and watch the runouts, but that was patched with the Siege X launch as far as I know. 01:44:09.540 --> 01:44:12.900 But I frankly don't know, either that or Shadow Injury, but I don't know. 01:44:14.740 --> 01:44:20.340 Well either way, he gets picked back up and he's into the action again, but a low HP Blackbeard is 01:44:20.340 --> 01:44:26.580 Nowhere near as threatening as one with full HP, one shot in the toes and he's a goner. 01:44:27.460 --> 01:44:32.820 Good ground taken though, as HL Tory starts to put some pressure onto Piano. 01:44:33.460 --> 01:44:36.100 One impact from Shaz and that Blackbeard is dead. 01:44:36.820 --> 01:44:43.620 Yeah, well C4 can obviously done Sunstrike so this attack has been limited and like he looks 01:44:43.620 --> 01:44:48.900 10 on 1 health, 4 on 1 health, this is falling apart games very quickly. 01:44:48.900 --> 01:45:06.300 And Blackbeard is goodbye beard, Big J holds down the long line of sight with the DMR and the second one as well, we're going the distance, it is a 15th round needed on cafe to settle it as Unreal Nightmare cruise into the last round with the very comfortable defense. 01:45:06.300 --> 01:45:13.100 I really just, I don't want this to become a who gets deep inside in OT twice kind of map, right? 01:45:13.100 --> 01:45:15.700 Because that happens sometimes to defend a set of maps. 01:45:15.700 --> 01:45:19.900 And I think the reason what happens more on maps that are definitely a favorite is because 01:45:19.900 --> 01:45:23.900 you feel like you're running out of attacks on the attack inside. 01:45:23.900 --> 01:45:27.100 We've all played ranked where we get the same map three times in a row, right? 01:45:27.100 --> 01:45:28.900 You get like border, border, border. 01:45:28.900 --> 01:45:34.300 And first time you played with your friends, you do like an archives rush or an armor attack. 01:45:34.300 --> 01:45:42.500 And then in the second game, maybe to the exact same thing, by the third game, you feel like you've already done it, so you don't want to show it off again. 01:45:42.500 --> 01:45:45.600 Despite the fact that in ranked, your enemies are a different opponent entirely. 01:45:45.600 --> 01:45:56.100 Well, in a product setting, it's the exact same enemy, which means you feel more than ever, guys, we gotta get a new attack for this one, because we already feel like two strong ones. 01:45:56.100 --> 01:46:04.000 Sometimes you don't have a good theory, sometimes you gotta get creative in the server, you know, in the moment, or sometimes you gotta go for a Hail Mary play. 01:46:04.000 --> 01:46:09.560 So I just want to see on the nightmare actually have a bit of an execute and show us a strategy 01:46:09.880 --> 01:46:15.160 Because last we'll take out from both teams has just been getting a building back and then run over 01:46:17.240 --> 01:46:21.480 Well now for our final round all it comes down to is this one defense from HLTARI now 01:46:21.480 --> 01:46:23.560 They had their full choice. Where do they want to go to? 01:46:24.480 --> 01:46:27.840 Except for barcock down the top floor. They decided to go down to kitchen 01:46:27.840 --> 01:46:33.800 This is actually the most convincing defensive round that HLTARI won. It was down in the kitchen 01:46:33.800 --> 01:46:36.440 It was all the way back in the second round of this game, 01:46:36.440 --> 01:46:39.320 that Unreal Nightmare then went on to win it later on 01:46:39.320 --> 01:46:40.720 in that half. 01:46:40.720 --> 01:46:44.280 So don't count out Unreal Nightmare. 01:46:44.280 --> 01:46:46.120 A lot of it to me comes down to Chathamnit 01:46:46.120 --> 01:46:48.760 and what he's able to do on that mute. 01:46:48.760 --> 01:46:51.000 The first time around, he was very successful 01:46:51.000 --> 01:46:51.840 on that top floor roam. 01:46:51.840 --> 01:46:53.840 The second time, he was hunted down early. 01:46:59.040 --> 01:47:02.400 Could be a case of lift by the roam, die by the roam. 01:47:02.400 --> 01:47:06.400 Again, the only way back to the side, besides the hatch, of course, is going to be a staircase, 01:47:06.400 --> 01:47:10.040 and they could be watched from outside the building, all three of them. 01:47:10.040 --> 01:47:13.000 So you're playing a fine line, if you're a gentleman. 01:47:13.000 --> 01:47:15.000 But I like the mute here. 01:47:15.000 --> 01:47:17.880 Putting enjammers in the doors can kind of help us. 01:47:17.880 --> 01:47:23.520 The drones, rather, have a rotator laundry, give them a lot of mobility, escapes the first 01:47:23.520 --> 01:47:27.080 gunfight, kills the drones, and they know Garage is actually pretty damn free, so they 01:47:27.080 --> 01:47:28.080 fall back. 01:47:28.080 --> 01:47:32.120 It is a bit early technically speaking, there's still two full minutes, but rather 01:47:32.120 --> 01:47:37.000 fall back in a 2 minute mark and still to 130 with no chance of falling back it's gonna 01:47:37.000 --> 01:47:39.120 be calm that 5v5 late down. 01:47:43.120 --> 01:47:45.880 My questions, where's our middle nut making a push? 01:47:45.880 --> 01:47:50.320 They don't have any kind of a shield operator towards the table, but they have found Tenno 01:47:50.320 --> 01:47:54.120 at the bottom of red stairs that's a big pick from K3. 01:47:54.120 --> 01:47:59.800 Yeah, wow that's unfortunate for Tenno, it includes his life so early on, the vertical 01:47:59.800 --> 01:48:05.360 game is solo from big J we need horizontal pressure in tandem and this 01:48:05.360 --> 01:48:08.680 is because you lose that player you actually lose a crossfire if you're a 01:48:08.680 --> 01:48:12.120 player in the code check room which you have her now from the thorn and your 01:48:12.120 --> 01:48:16.080 player but a red now you can help each other you have a crossfire now you have 01:48:16.080 --> 01:48:22.360 a gap in your defense oh hello oh no somehow the thorn trap saves killer there 01:48:22.360 --> 01:48:25.840 channel is able to finish off that player the nade does go too wide as well 01:48:25.840 --> 01:48:29.720 the logic bomb rings out but I have not managed to confirm this 01:48:29.720 --> 01:48:35.200 kill low HP on both Hoxvast and Keller and yet there are no nades left from Shaz 01:48:35.200 --> 01:48:39.140 to try and finish off this kill. Shadow has to have a big impact, he knows 01:48:39.140 --> 01:48:43.080 exactly where this player is on the ground, gets partially flashed but from 01:48:43.080 --> 01:48:51.800 behind, HLTARI hold down the line and defense will overcome here on cafe. It's 01:48:51.800 --> 01:48:57.540 not one of the books for HLTARI as we go up next to Shelle to see if Unreal 01:48:57.540 --> 01:48:59.540 My man can fight back 01:49:57.540 --> 01:50:13.540 The game is called Lycoris. 01:50:13.540 --> 01:50:16.540 It's a game for Fui from Thailand. 01:50:16.540 --> 01:50:21.540 From the point of view of my father playing the game, 01:50:21.540 --> 01:50:24.540 I think it's a sub-sub. 01:50:24.540 --> 01:50:29.340 I remember that my dad had online games and lags and all that. 01:50:29.340 --> 01:50:33.900 After that, we played as if we were playing a game. 01:50:33.900 --> 01:50:37.980 I remember that I started playing games about 2 years ago. 01:50:37.980 --> 01:50:40.780 The first game I remember was the second layer. 01:50:40.780 --> 01:50:45.100 It was the first game that was played as a game. 01:50:45.100 --> 01:50:49.660 At first, I was playing games with my dad and brother. 01:50:49.660 --> 01:50:52.300 But I had to say that I was lucky or something. 01:50:52.300 --> 01:50:53.660 I don't know either. 01:50:53.660 --> 01:50:57.660 because no one in the school had a chance to play basketball. 01:50:57.660 --> 01:51:01.660 So, in my school days, 01:51:01.660 --> 01:51:05.660 since I was a kid, 01:51:05.660 --> 01:51:09.660 I played basketball with my friends online. 01:51:09.660 --> 01:51:13.660 I had to say that I was a kid who played games 01:51:13.660 --> 01:51:18.660 like throwing the ball in the air. 01:51:18.660 --> 01:51:28.300 When I was 5 or 6 years old, I had to study for about 2 months. 01:51:28.300 --> 01:51:35.660 So I started to play games at home all day long. 01:51:35.660 --> 01:51:37.420 And I went to school to study. 01:51:37.420 --> 01:51:40.900 I didn't want to go back to school then. 01:51:40.900 --> 01:51:44.220 But I was on my way. 01:51:44.220 --> 01:51:47.820 If I really have to go, I won't be able to remember. 01:51:47.820 --> 01:51:50.420 I have to go home anyway. 01:51:50.420 --> 01:51:55.060 My mom gave me a chance to go to the 4th grade. 01:51:55.060 --> 01:51:59.100 And if I'm not mistaken, it started to get better gradually. 01:51:59.100 --> 01:52:03.500 I started to study hard. 01:52:04.500 --> 01:52:05.820 And I still play games. 01:52:05.820 --> 01:52:06.980 Let's move on. 01:52:06.980 --> 01:52:08.300 But I started to study better. 01:55:44.220 --> 01:55:50.220 They are the best that this region has got to offer! 01:56:14.220 --> 01:56:20.780 of the final round. This was a much better map than I hoped for, and hey Totari! 01:56:27.500 --> 01:56:33.420 Start to last week getting crushed by Ileade, and he started strong today, then got countered, 01:56:33.420 --> 01:56:37.420 then countered the counter and figured things out, and at the end of it, 01:56:37.420 --> 01:56:49.100 It's a long time. It's a long time on cafe. Yeah, with a bit of tea. They did. It was a tough situation where kind of a defense double for Haltori attack double for 01:56:49.100 --> 01:56:51.100 that's no excuse because I'm 01:56:51.100 --> 01:56:53.100 not there had some really good 01:56:53.100 --> 01:56:55.100 attacks. They were 33 in the 01:56:55.100 --> 01:56:57.100 first half. You can see what it 01:56:57.100 --> 01:56:59.100 means. Haltari. I feel like the 01:56:59.100 --> 01:57:01.100 momentum completely swung into 01:57:01.100 --> 01:57:03.100 overtime at the end of that 01:57:03.100 --> 01:57:05.100 game. And now Haltari move on to 01:57:05.100 --> 01:57:07.100 Chalet, which is unreal 01:57:07.100 --> 01:57:09.100 nightmares. Map pick and they've 01:57:09.100 --> 01:57:11.100 won their first map of the 01:57:11.100 --> 01:57:13.100 APL. It's a fight for survival 01:57:13.100 --> 01:57:15.100 heat in the lower bracket. The 01:57:15.100 --> 01:57:17.100 loser of this game is done 01:57:17.100 --> 01:57:23.340 the winner will play on not just today, but later this afternoon into the evening against 01:57:23.340 --> 01:57:28.860 Sol's heart. The battle for survival now puts Unreal Nightmare in the hot seat on Shelly. 01:57:32.860 --> 01:57:38.620 Now it's definitely going to be a bit of a vibe difference on Shelly. Again, we're going to talk 01:57:38.620 --> 01:57:44.940 all about a quicker page, more roaming, more split theory attack from different locations. 01:57:44.940 --> 01:57:51.180 I also think Shelly opens up the door for something that we didn't see like once on cafe, which is direct attacks 01:57:51.180 --> 01:57:56.540 Essentially a bombsite rush. You can rush basement. You can rush bar. You can rush master bedroom 01:57:56.860 --> 01:58:00.300 I'm not saying it's very common and every team does it in social disguise 01:58:00.460 --> 01:58:04.540 I'm just saying that it's a possibility from a strategical perspective that we've not seen yet 01:58:04.940 --> 01:58:06.940 and all it takes for a 01:58:07.180 --> 01:58:13.260 Rush to have a long lasting effect is for one rush to work because the second that happens you're a defender going guys 01:58:13.260 --> 01:58:18.060 Let's not do a four-man library roam and a massive hit on defense because they could just rush it again 01:58:18.060 --> 01:58:23.420 And it's actually going to change how you play every round to come and it's not fear, right? 01:58:23.420 --> 01:58:27.740 It's respect. You have to respect the fact that they can rush it and they are respected better. They're good at it 01:58:27.980 --> 01:58:31.460 So I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for that if any team can pull that off 01:58:31.460 --> 01:58:36.580 I mean this can change very quickly, but it's like a re-pick jim's for glass and sense brim monty 01:58:36.580 --> 01:58:39.820 This could already be one of those rushes if you stick these operators 01:58:39.820 --> 01:58:44.940 I'd love to say the thing for me that I really like from Unreal 9 there on the first map 01:58:45.580 --> 01:58:47.780 Was in one of those early rounds 01:58:47.780 --> 01:58:52.500 We saw HLTAR he had Chathamint running around like crazy on the solace. He runs out 01:58:52.500 --> 01:58:58.800 He gets a kill on the player repelling and within two seconds the entire of Unreal 9 they have said one off site 01:58:59.340 --> 01:59:04.380 Let's collapse. What do they call it in on the old space station team that had a name for crank was it crank? 01:59:04.380 --> 01:59:09.540 Oh, is he cranking? Yeah. Yeah, they just said crank it and then they all went together at the same time 01:59:09.820 --> 01:59:18.120 And despite being in a disadvantage, they won the round convincingly because they overwhelmed the bomb site together at the same time. 01:59:18.120 --> 01:59:22.120 A lot of gusto and it's a classic thing about the modern day of siege, right? 01:59:22.120 --> 01:59:28.320 A synchronized execute is so much more important than a good plan. 01:59:28.320 --> 01:59:34.820 You can plan as much as you like until you get punched in the face and then you've got to bring something new to the table and you've got to work it together. 01:59:36.820 --> 01:59:38.320 That's exactly right. 01:59:39.820 --> 01:59:44.500 Now the famous have a couple of things that can help you once these punches are coming 01:59:44.500 --> 01:59:49.620 out right? The frost traps, the thorn traps, the razor blooms of course and all my magnets. 01:59:49.620 --> 01:59:54.060 They can help you give you information, they can stop a push that distracts and they can 01:59:54.060 --> 01:59:59.580 give you of course some protection from grenades because if we think of cafe what was the most 01:59:59.580 --> 02:00:03.340 annoying piece of utility being Skibon and Limeir? It's frag grenades. It's been four 02:00:03.340 --> 02:00:06.980 of this round, two now dead of course that they must going down. Great opening made 02:00:06.980 --> 02:00:12.420 Tori once again striking first. They didn't do this at all last week and today they're 02:00:12.420 --> 02:00:16.900 actively trying to play for opening pick and then play a bit safe in the mid-round. 02:00:16.900 --> 02:00:19.300 We found them on Cafe and we found them here in the first map for Chaldea. 02:00:21.380 --> 02:00:25.220 Hey Chiltari, have really locked in ever since that tactical time out they took 02:00:25.220 --> 02:00:29.060 in the first map with their coach Vaughn of course like we said the former coach of that 02:00:29.060 --> 02:00:35.220 old fury team that now team awkward roster. That was a little bit of a headbutt from Shaz, 02:00:35.220 --> 02:00:37.940 as Tenno goes down, looks for a little bit more, might actually be able to find a kill. 02:00:37.940 --> 02:00:42.580 That would open things up. Shadow comes into support and Unreal Nightmare are back in the 02:00:42.580 --> 02:00:47.220 advantage. Sun strikes an awkward spot, he'll find one killed, but he's the last one standing. 02:00:47.220 --> 02:00:52.580 It's a 1v4 with Shadowman on the floor. This has already found the first kill, perhaps it's 02:00:52.580 --> 02:00:58.820 possible. Great grenade, flushes him straight into Big J's waving arms, and Unreal Nightmare 02:00:58.820 --> 02:01:05.660 kick things off on Chalet. Again, the grenade has been the most instrumental piece of util 02:01:05.660 --> 02:01:09.260 for Unreal Nightmare. It literally gets them one or two kills around and that was with 02:01:09.260 --> 02:01:12.740 them most dying early, so they only had twos that are four. They could have doubled down 02:01:12.740 --> 02:01:18.440 on those had that not happened. Yeah, great start. I do feel like there's quite a difference 02:01:18.440 --> 02:01:24.700 in the way these two teams play. HL Torrey on cafe were very, very slow on their attacking 02:01:24.700 --> 02:01:28.500 side. Unreal Nightmare are so much faster, so much more chaotic. Is there something you 02:01:28.500 --> 02:01:32.180 certainly the start of that previous map right you think that moving on to the 02:01:32.180 --> 02:01:36.900 the later maps in this series that are a little bit more loose and a little bit 02:01:36.900 --> 02:01:42.260 more split you think that that will favor Unreal Nightmares playstyle 02:01:48.500 --> 02:01:52.500 think about when Osheli and Nighty been this is a bit similar 02:01:52.500 --> 02:01:59.000 expansion so again cafe is so hard to take too much away from it in terms of 02:01:59.000 --> 02:02:05.380 like how the entire B3s are playing out but hey tutorial regardless what happens 02:02:05.380 --> 02:02:10.780 at all here now that cafe match shows up the level that they can perform at and I 02:02:10.780 --> 02:02:14.020 think that's gonna give the player so much confidence to just fight back 02:02:14.020 --> 02:02:17.620 into a fight back and not even to go the distance because they actually have some 02:02:17.620 --> 02:02:21.060 confidence and some results to back it up because I'm against that level is like 02:02:21.060 --> 02:02:28.060 guys who lost this one, who lost the next one. They were kind of laughing when they were losing at the end because they felt like the game was slump playable, but now it feels playable. 02:02:29.060 --> 02:02:30.060 Yeah. 02:02:30.060 --> 02:02:39.060 For me, the most impressive thing about what happened on Cafe was H. Altari's lack of ability to give up. They're just dedication to commit. 02:02:40.060 --> 02:02:49.060 The way they bounce back after their technical timeout. Doesn't matter that they're struggling on the favoured side of Cafe, they really gridded their teeth and popped through it. 02:02:49.060 --> 02:02:54.640 It doesn't matter that they had 15 seconds left in a lot of those executes, they made 02:02:54.640 --> 02:03:00.560 two of them work with basically no time and no resources to do. 02:03:00.560 --> 02:03:03.680 Big J's on for a lurk though, down in the basement, and he might actually be able to 02:03:03.680 --> 02:03:06.600 catch Hawks last over on the library stairs. 02:03:06.600 --> 02:03:08.280 The Dirk could be cool, might bait him forward. 02:03:08.280 --> 02:03:11.360 This will come down to a bit of a reaction time game though. 02:03:11.360 --> 02:03:15.000 Big J needs to make sure not to reveal his position because he has no cover if he marches 02:03:15.000 --> 02:03:16.000 forward. 02:03:16.000 --> 02:03:21.240 Good name that'll take down the barbed wire, but I just don't really see how big j can witness it less if 02:03:21.880 --> 02:03:23.880 Fox last over peaks 02:03:31.640 --> 02:03:33.640 I'm encouraged if we're gonna see 02:03:34.800 --> 02:03:41.000 Shass in action well, okay three goes down first bottom blue stairs very early gun fight with no wheel support 02:03:41.000 --> 02:03:43.600 No trade no pressure anywhere else in the map 02:03:43.600 --> 02:03:47.600 That's the thing about Shelly, right when I applied pressure in many different locations at once. 02:03:47.600 --> 02:03:50.600 Keep your fingers not knowing where the tech is actually happening from. 02:03:50.600 --> 02:03:52.600 And then make your approach. 02:03:52.600 --> 02:03:58.600 Losing that backstep player in butter blue, that's gonna make the rush or the comsets just rather a lot more complicated later on. 02:03:58.600 --> 02:04:05.600 Here comes the raid, and it will indeed net a kill by flushing the player out of that position. 02:04:05.600 --> 02:04:08.600 And the guns come to life for Unreal Nightmare Killer now. 02:04:08.600 --> 02:04:10.600 The last line of defense, the library. 02:04:10.600 --> 02:04:15.740 High breath, he finds one, the flashbang a little bit too late and a refrag might be 02:04:15.740 --> 02:04:22.580 possible here for Wag but it is a 1v1 and if Wag loses it then it should be the round 02:04:22.580 --> 02:04:27.620 for HL Tarry that puts a lot of pressure on flying this kill and Killers just gonna hide 02:04:27.620 --> 02:04:28.620 back. 02:04:28.620 --> 02:04:33.060 Don't think Shadow knows he's just around the corner. 02:04:33.060 --> 02:04:36.900 Don't move a muscle, don't make a sound, get ready for the counter swing here he goes 02:04:36.900 --> 02:04:38.900 Oh no. 02:04:38.900 --> 02:04:39.900 He used the flank. 02:04:39.900 --> 02:04:41.900 Unlucky there for killer. 02:04:41.900 --> 02:04:42.900 He misses window. 02:04:42.900 --> 02:04:44.900 And now, Hoxas will try to find one. 02:04:44.900 --> 02:04:45.900 He's trying to find two. 02:04:45.900 --> 02:04:46.900 What? 02:04:46.900 --> 02:04:48.900 It's now Shadow forced into a clutch scenario. 02:04:48.900 --> 02:04:50.900 He sneaks into the back of site. 02:04:50.900 --> 02:04:51.900 He's going to find the angle. 02:04:51.900 --> 02:04:53.900 He reveals his position to 1v2. 02:04:53.900 --> 02:04:55.900 He can't find the first one. 02:04:55.900 --> 02:04:56.900 He's to bring out the pistol. 02:04:56.900 --> 02:04:57.900 They're both off. 02:04:57.900 --> 02:04:59.900 One point on the floor. 02:04:59.900 --> 02:05:00.900 Both point on the floor. 02:05:00.900 --> 02:05:01.900 Finds the first kill. 02:05:01.900 --> 02:05:02.900 Hoxas has to commit now. 02:05:02.900 --> 02:05:03.900 Shadow's low HP. 02:05:03.900 --> 02:05:05.900 He needs to find the close kill. 02:05:05.900 --> 02:05:12.620 does finish the round with a pistol, a big sigh of relief for Shadow, and thankfully 02:05:12.620 --> 02:05:21.420 for Unreal Night where a weathering of what was a very chaotic round. 02:05:21.420 --> 02:05:28.780 I get the sigh of relief. It's a 3v2 post plan, and then the Ace just sends it down the library 02:05:28.780 --> 02:05:35.020 towards the bomb site. You had their most controlled position top floor. You can go 02:05:35.020 --> 02:05:39.820 outside library window, going to repel upside down, clearing the library head to have an insane 02:05:39.820 --> 02:05:44.540 win condition, so hard to lose, but by dropping down and dying, plus the tender going down and 02:05:44.540 --> 02:05:49.740 dropping the after, that makes that round very hard to win. And then on top of that, when you 02:05:49.740 --> 02:05:54.060 stall Shadow, go for the flank, he actually tries to wallbang with his D-arm, right before he takes 02:05:54.060 --> 02:05:59.900 the gunfight, so he gives away his own location. He also only had nine bullets, so he had to reload 02:05:59.900 --> 02:06:02.340 I'll go for a pistol swap in the middle of a clutch. 02:06:02.340 --> 02:06:04.780 Bomb located by attackers. 02:06:04.780 --> 02:06:07.980 Thank god he's good with the pistol, huh? 02:06:07.980 --> 02:06:10.480 Yeah. 02:06:10.480 --> 02:06:13.480 Yeah. 02:06:13.480 --> 02:06:16.460 Again, it's a unreal nightmare. 02:06:16.460 --> 02:06:20.500 Honestly, it didn't have a ton of individual heroes on Cafe. 02:06:20.500 --> 02:06:22.260 And I think that's kind of a good thing, 02:06:22.260 --> 02:06:23.980 where you win a system boosted team. 02:06:23.980 --> 02:06:26.060 Sometimes you need to clutch. 02:06:26.060 --> 02:06:29.180 And I feel like when you go to the maximum time, 02:06:29.180 --> 02:06:31.900 You know, one clutch round quite literally makes a difference. 02:06:31.900 --> 02:06:36.060 Angel Tori won two or three attacks, pending at zero seconds. 02:06:36.060 --> 02:06:41.220 There are so many moments on Cafe where if Undeath may get that one player winning one more gunfight, 02:06:41.220 --> 02:06:43.100 they could literally attack in Cafe. 02:06:43.100 --> 02:06:45.060 Instead, he got all the distance. 02:06:45.060 --> 02:06:47.100 Gentlemen, same thing as on Cafe. 02:06:47.100 --> 02:06:50.820 He will jump out, he will take the fight, he will cease to kill. 02:06:50.820 --> 02:06:54.260 You know how I can tell that Shadamon is a giga-chat? 02:06:54.260 --> 02:06:54.940 Oh. 02:06:54.940 --> 02:07:00.780 Because he runs the Tugarral, which is the new, like, abandoned Jager, but he runs the MPX. 02:07:00.780 --> 02:07:06.220 People run the Tugarral so that they have an ACOG with the DMR, but he's doing it for the MPX. 02:07:06.220 --> 02:07:08.060 That's how you know he's a true thinker, Jack. 02:07:11.580 --> 02:07:14.220 Well, from what I've seen on D.E.K. I guess, I don't know. 02:07:14.220 --> 02:07:20.940 Shadow Trace back, though, taking down Hawks' effortless, you know, losing anything in return, just a utility to a system. 02:07:20.940 --> 02:07:27.060 Really has been the story of Frank Renev today for Unreal Nightmare. 02:07:27.060 --> 02:07:33.540 Every round they are used in important areas, needing either a kill or a good bit of pressure. 02:07:33.540 --> 02:07:34.540 What now? 02:07:34.540 --> 02:07:38.220 No more grenades, only one flashbang in pocket, and then you get the Grimbeast, maybe it's 02:07:38.220 --> 02:07:39.660 in the building, it's in melee. 02:07:39.660 --> 02:07:41.660 Yeah, very nice from the Blackbeard. 02:07:41.660 --> 02:07:46.420 However, a backstab here and a flank up a chinny, 10-0. 02:07:46.420 --> 02:07:48.460 He falls back down. 02:07:48.460 --> 02:07:50.460 He's actually pro, I believe, in trophies. 02:07:50.460 --> 02:07:58.040 It's supposed to that he is ratting doing his best attempt. He is vulnerable now if he stands up at the wrong time shadow should take him down for free 02:07:59.060 --> 02:08:04.500 They're gonna soon you fall back surely because why would he stick around against the BB doesn't make any sense, right? 02:08:04.500 --> 02:08:07.220 You got a usual logic and go guys. It's clear. Don't worry about it 02:08:07.660 --> 02:08:11.900 The same thing goes for masonin. They don't know that the flank could be on but he actually drops onto the lobby 02:08:11.900 --> 02:08:14.240 That could be dangerous as a play outside. He hears him 02:08:14.240 --> 02:08:18.260 Imagine if you go back upstairs or go in a different every one basement there shadow knows what's up 02:08:18.260 --> 02:08:22.740 You're right. He is gonna rotate all the way down through basement is killer leaving Sunstrike the only player on site 02:08:22.740 --> 02:08:28.160 But Tenno isn't fast still racking in his position Sunstrike also can gain a lot of information 02:08:29.120 --> 02:08:34.160 With that pulse scanner, but he's not gonna be great in long-range fights. All he has is that little Reaper 02:08:35.240 --> 02:08:38.320 But now tenno's position has been exposed and 02:08:38.980 --> 02:08:42.580 He will go down shadow is finally put him on the floor shaz finished him off 02:08:42.580 --> 02:08:48.340 Blank opportunity now for killers but he's the last one left 1v3 and they've 02:08:48.340 --> 02:08:55.240 got him locked down. He's still has a c4. What a shot to 02:08:55.240 --> 02:08:59.380 thread the needle against shadow and now the pressure is on the black beard. 02:08:59.380 --> 02:09:04.380 Does he go for the plant? Does he go for the res or does he go for the kill? He 02:09:04.380 --> 02:09:08.380 starts planting that defuse that nitro cell comes out. The nitro does a 02:09:08.380 --> 02:09:19.040 the panel of a lot of damage, but doesn't finally find the kill and Shaz will re-swing it, commits to the fight, and gets a second round on the board, or third round in a row, for a run real nightmare. 02:09:20.180 --> 02:09:26.380 Look at K3's player, Kat. He is all the way down in his territory. What just happened? Hands on his head. 02:09:26.780 --> 02:09:37.580 The BB lift with a single point of health. If that's before, it's like a pixel closer to him. If the BB looked a pixel to his left or his right, up or down, 02:09:37.580 --> 02:09:41.740 that changed how much damage you take with the shield granting that explosive resistance. 02:09:42.380 --> 02:09:45.740 Literally, any tiny detail can change the outcome of that one, 02:09:45.740 --> 02:09:51.500 but it was thanks to some phenomenal individual shots from Heijo Tori that gave them a win chance 02:09:51.500 --> 02:09:57.020 off that round. But it does prove one thing. The way Shalei plays out, the more chaotic play style, 02:09:57.020 --> 02:10:01.580 I think Kallimit is loving the more chaos and freedom, but the other members of Heijo Tori, 02:10:02.300 --> 02:10:06.780 they do give me the vibe that they like the more organized and structured way of playing the game, 02:10:06.780 --> 02:10:12.380 which maps like Shelly, Border, Nighthaven, Lance, don't give you as much off. 02:10:12.380 --> 02:10:17.980 This could become a map of V2 problem later on, if this issue continues on Shelly, 02:10:17.980 --> 02:10:20.980 and if you need to, of course, all the way onto Nighthaven. 02:10:20.980 --> 02:10:24.780 The Blackbeard really helped a lot to counter that aggressive. 02:10:24.780 --> 02:10:27.780 Of course, Shadowman ended up having to 1v1 that Blackbeard, 02:10:27.780 --> 02:10:30.180 and when you've got a good Blackbeard player like Shaz, 02:10:30.180 --> 02:10:34.180 that can take 2 plus 1v1s and a round of win them consistently, 02:10:34.180 --> 02:10:38.780 Yeah, then the question is beg do you start banning shields against this team? 02:10:38.900 --> 02:10:42.300 We've just had the third operator bands come through Pangu and no shield ban 02:10:42.300 --> 02:10:47.940 In fact, we have one of the shield counters get banned. So now no Denari no thorn 02:10:48.220 --> 02:10:52.760 That's two operators that are really good against shields taken out of the equation on the HL Tory side 02:10:52.760 --> 02:10:56.100 They just banned out the lion which yes has been good across the series 02:10:56.100 --> 02:11:00.980 But I'd be scared about the shield operators more than the lion at this juncture 02:11:00.980 --> 02:11:09.980 Now, no shields pick this round, so I don't have to deal with it, but in the future, I guess they're really relying on capcan traps to try and deal damage to shield operators. 02:11:10.980 --> 02:11:24.980 Yeah, we have a lot of discussions about capcan in the last couple of playdays of APL, because it's one of those operators where you can literally get a kill or two in a given round, or you can get absolutely no damage done at all. 02:11:24.980 --> 02:11:29.860 it's a very high risk high reward or more maybe high impact low impact operator 02:11:31.380 --> 02:11:37.300 but it is a nice little curveball for Hitchhunter to utilize because if it goes unnoticed and on drone 02:11:37.300 --> 02:11:40.900 you're gonna run to a door and not even check for the capcams because you don't check them 02:11:40.900 --> 02:11:45.060 every single round as she knows being played. Clamcurs on the map there they have an inkling 02:11:45.060 --> 02:11:48.900 about this you know they check the dollways they don't seem to that they are! uh-oh 02:11:48.900 --> 02:11:57.780 So, Trouble. So a Capcom trap, fire canister kill, into a tunnel getting killed with Yeager 02:11:57.780 --> 02:12:03.780 at the exact same moment, with two members of a bound in a single frame. 02:12:03.780 --> 02:12:08.740 It's hard to come back from around to the 3v5 on that like shell A, on a pump site like 02:12:08.740 --> 02:12:13.580 this without fishing a little bit. So we're going to need to see this mid-round be a little 02:12:13.580 --> 02:12:18.660 bit of bait game from Unreal Nightmare. And it kind of comes down to how much HLTAR will 02:12:18.660 --> 02:12:23.600 give them. But you're right, like just a tiny little play here and there, a Capcan trap 02:12:23.600 --> 02:12:27.060 well placed. I mean, you talked about how it can be all or nothing. That was a huge 02:12:27.060 --> 02:12:31.420 impact with the Capcan. This is the perfect chance to go fishing, but no Chathamnit will 02:12:31.420 --> 02:12:38.020 find his kill, and K3 is out of it. 2v5 now, and it feels like Haltari will finally get 02:12:38.020 --> 02:12:39.820 themselves a defense on the board. 02:12:39.820 --> 02:12:44.540 Yeah, and there's nothing else Unreal Nightmare can do right now. Really speaking, they have 02:12:44.540 --> 02:12:49.640 Just go in the building try and go for broke and do something completely silly because they have lost this round 02:12:49.640 --> 02:12:51.660 And they got to try and bring it back 02:12:51.660 --> 02:12:54.260 So please double door piano jump in the window 02:12:56.260 --> 02:12:57.260 Oh 02:12:57.260 --> 02:13:03.020 Kind of push the channel fires it gives us smoke first. Yeah, well played from shadow and big J together to isolate this place 02:13:03.020 --> 02:13:06.980 But ten out plays the smart move he falls back giving up a lot of ground here 02:13:07.020 --> 02:13:12.700 But it just forces on what I made it to more to go and clear the bomb site positions 02:13:12.700 --> 02:13:15.900 Which is a lot easier said than done in a two versus four 02:13:17.620 --> 02:13:23.700 Fire here could be good the issue is you can play by the door on the right-hand side as he is so he's completely safe 02:13:24.820 --> 02:13:29.580 Again, you got EMP smoke jump on it. Maybe just risk it all but it's a warden smoking 02:13:29.580 --> 02:13:32.220 It's not gonna do a damn thing. It's got the glasses got the C4 02:13:32.740 --> 02:13:35.580 So maybe that's a shadow on the DMR has a kills 02:13:36.540 --> 02:13:38.980 Has to find a few more in this round to be winnable 02:13:38.980 --> 02:13:59.140 I mean, we spawned on the cap, can impact, you can literally get a kill or you can literally 02:13:59.140 --> 02:14:00.140 do nothing. 02:14:00.140 --> 02:14:03.980 The low key won the round because of it, I mean here, like the cap and jump and Tenno 02:14:03.980 --> 02:14:05.220 got a kill at the same time. 02:14:05.220 --> 02:14:09.460 and 3 vs 5 will start, the attackers have no way into the building, you lose both the 02:14:09.460 --> 02:14:15.740 Grimm and the Ace. Like literally the only hard destruction and then the strongest gadget 02:14:15.740 --> 02:14:21.420 in the game basically. It makes the round into the harder. And Hazel Tori don't make 02:14:21.420 --> 02:14:26.620 any mistakes. I mean again they're playing good siege in these more stabilised rounds. 02:14:26.620 --> 02:14:30.980 That's not really my concern. The concern is the chaotic rounds. When on a nightmare 02:14:30.980 --> 02:14:34.660 are everywhere and attacking from different locations, that's where they seem to fall 02:14:34.660 --> 02:14:39.060 a little bit short. So if I don't happen to just stay composed and you know double draw 02:14:39.060 --> 02:14:42.180 and not die early, that should net them the best possible. 02:14:42.180 --> 02:14:46.860 Is my question, where's my shields at? Where's my Dokka B at? Like just really put them under 02:14:46.860 --> 02:14:52.000 the pump. They banned the lion and we saw Chatham in all over the map all at once. Use that 02:14:52.000 --> 02:14:57.740 Dokka B, anti-rat. Like HLTAR, he loved playing a little bit of rat game. Even Tenna remember 02:14:57.740 --> 02:15:02.240 on that dining and kitchen defense he finds a kill upstairs and he goes and 02:15:02.240 --> 02:15:06.860 rats underneath in trophy. I don't know if I found that because they were slow and 02:15:06.860 --> 02:15:11.260 persistent. We've got Deimos. I honestly think you can double down. Deimos plus 02:15:11.260 --> 02:15:15.300 Dokerby plus Monti or Blackbeard. You know you've got some good shield players, 02:15:15.300 --> 02:15:19.700 the Shaz. I don't think that this is the play. I mean even, I don't know, maybe the 02:15:19.700 --> 02:15:23.780 twitches an overthink here, maybe not. This is a lot of utile here with the 02:15:23.780 --> 02:15:30.260 I don't know, I just feel like this is a missed opportunity from Unreal Nightmare. 02:15:30.260 --> 02:15:31.760 We know what works. 02:15:31.760 --> 02:15:32.760 Why are we not doing it? 02:15:32.760 --> 02:15:38.820 My only line of thinking is that you're expecting them to counter it. 02:15:38.820 --> 02:15:43.140 I mean, if you look at playing, I mean, okay, Monty would still be kind of fun here, but 02:15:43.140 --> 02:15:45.140 they're the more like a Blackbeard team. 02:15:45.140 --> 02:15:48.940 Playing Blackbeard against Ella, Finraer, and Shashank, there's a lot of opportunities 02:15:48.940 --> 02:15:54.260 die to getting god broken right because the fire does it the air light does it 02:15:54.260 --> 02:15:58.660 this is for an impact to me do it as well only mean the old mark finery you 02:15:58.660 --> 02:16:03.180 can fire you can't see them thing and I mean I don't know they want the guns I 02:16:03.180 --> 02:16:06.580 suppose they got again choose to frag grenades every single round that's what 02:16:06.580 --> 02:16:11.780 they want got k3 on the demos they got wacky library office on the striker 02:16:11.780 --> 02:16:14.820 looking at first-entry but 10 or false back that's over the mentioning 02:16:14.820 --> 02:16:20.820 I think out of the door frame. 02:16:20.820 --> 02:16:22.820 Yeah, that saved K3's life. 02:16:22.820 --> 02:16:28.820 Unfortunately, Shadow's timing was just slightly too behind to catch Tenno on that retreat. 02:16:28.820 --> 02:16:35.820 The bomb site is all the way upstairs in Master, but I don't know why they're very much focused on taking control of mezzanine across. 02:16:35.820 --> 02:16:41.060 Now the Deimos could go in down below and try and vertically challenge some of these players, but 02:16:41.900 --> 02:16:48.240 He's gonna have to deal with Chetamin and these other players on the road if he is to do that which is a bit hard to do so 02:16:49.980 --> 02:16:55.420 Problem is there's no hard breach in the lineup, so they can't really put much pressure. Yeah, that's like on the mom side 02:16:55.420 --> 02:17:02.600 I think they messed up not having cannibals in the grim all the striker because I mean you won't be here 02:17:02.600 --> 02:17:07.320 all the demos all the demos but you're the frankly it's right i feel like we've got a 02:17:07.320 --> 02:17:13.480 claymore stream right now they're doing patching zero yeah uh this is gonna mean the round is 02:17:13.480 --> 02:17:18.200 kind of close and it's either before he's slain into a wide and die or on the night may just make 02:17:18.200 --> 02:17:23.560 a huge place somewhere but k3 don't help now then action just on strike this play becomes infinitely 02:17:23.560 --> 02:17:27.880 harder because we got too much attack from him we got five seconds watching it there's fire yeah i 02:17:27.880 --> 02:17:31.400 noticed k3 just went for that play solo didn't have any support didn't have anyone else end 02:17:31.400 --> 02:17:33.400 Shadow tries to make a play, you know? 02:17:33.400 --> 02:17:35.400 Wow, big play, he's here from Sunstrike, 02:17:35.400 --> 02:17:37.400 there's a shanker on the bomb site, he's down 3 so far, 02:17:37.400 --> 02:17:39.400 looks for a 4th, Wagg finally shuts him down, 02:17:39.400 --> 02:17:41.400 but he's about to get flanked from the top of the library stairs, 02:17:41.400 --> 02:17:43.400 Chathamnit makes his way back towards the bomb site. 02:17:43.400 --> 02:17:45.400 I don't know if they are aware of it, 02:17:45.400 --> 02:17:47.400 indeed Wagg is 3k, 02:17:47.400 --> 02:17:49.400 and now Killer is in a 1 vs 2, 02:17:49.400 --> 02:17:51.400 but the diffuser is, well, 02:17:51.400 --> 02:17:53.400 on Big J in office, he has to plant it, 02:17:53.400 --> 02:17:55.400 no C4 for Killer, 02:17:55.400 --> 02:17:57.400 but Wagg is low HP, the player covering 02:17:57.400 --> 02:17:59.400 is vulnerable, 02:17:59.400 --> 02:18:06.020 But why goes big finds a fourth and unreal nightmare find their fourth round on the board and shall I 02:18:07.000 --> 02:18:14.120 Dude somebody please help Sun strike. He's to Shankar getting three kills almost taking down the fourth player 02:18:14.160 --> 02:18:20.680 He's the first line of the fins in office fighting door and fight in the breach with the gadget out half 02:18:20.680 --> 02:18:24.520 They've got them round and still somehow the defense falls 02:18:24.520 --> 02:18:29.720 I mean, that's just a matter of individual players either losing their gunfight or looking in the wrong direction 02:18:30.160 --> 02:18:34.440 They can only attack you from the office floor walk in the breach 02:18:34.440 --> 02:18:39.860 Which you can hold the piano by the way, and then window jumpers and bathroom piano, but you have five defenders 02:18:40.240 --> 02:18:42.920 Talks was alive right before the execute 02:18:43.080 --> 02:18:49.280 There's no way that's been adapted Anna and Fenrir on the board unless it's three strong somehow found every piece of utile 02:18:49.280 --> 02:18:51.280 Which I don't think was the case 02:18:51.280 --> 02:18:58.280 Huge clutch by Unreal Nightmare. All the small moments they were losing on Cafe, they are now winning here in Chalet. 02:19:02.280 --> 02:19:08.280 Yeah, I think we always expected Unreal Nightmare to have a bit more on Chalet than HLTARI. 02:19:08.280 --> 02:19:13.280 Based on, obviously, the history there. Both these teams have only played one map so far. 02:19:13.280 --> 02:19:19.280 HLTARI got decimated by Elevate. Unreal Nightmare got put away by Team Walker, but gave them a decent fight. 02:19:19.280 --> 02:19:29.280 And of course the last time these teams met back in the Challenger series when they were called Dolphin eSports and 7-Eaven, Unreal Nightmare won quite convincingly there as well. 02:19:29.280 --> 02:19:36.280 We always thought that I don't know, we're going to be the favourite team. If anything, it's the fact that HL Torry came out ahead on cafe that has surprised me so far. 02:19:36.280 --> 02:19:44.280 But also, Penguid gives me hope, because we know that they can bounce back after a hard start, which they already did on cafe. 02:19:44.280 --> 02:19:48.360 Even if they lose Shelle here, there's a chance to redeem themselves on that head at last. 02:19:49.960 --> 02:19:51.960 So that's why we lost against the threes, right? 02:19:52.360 --> 02:19:54.440 Best of one wouldn't give you the full story. 02:19:54.440 --> 02:19:59.680 It still would have made that cap imagine exciting and thrilling game and the Honored Dog obviously wins, but not Hallelujah. 02:19:59.920 --> 02:20:02.760 But then B.O.3, you get the chance about 02:20:03.320 --> 02:20:07.640 consistency and longevity across the series. And I think that's much more valuable. 02:20:08.120 --> 02:20:13.840 H.O.T.T.O.R.Y, the godness about coming in Shelle, also get experience. Again, their play style doesn't seem to favor 02:20:13.840 --> 02:20:19.840 these more aggressive oriented maps, but there are a lot of them in the map pool as to say, right? 02:20:19.840 --> 02:20:25.840 Tidehaven Labs, Shelly, Border. That's three of the nine maps. If that's three permit bands right there, 02:20:25.840 --> 02:20:31.840 you're heavily limiting yourself in a map beat of Abyssal Threes. So they gotta learn them, they gotta get their experience. 02:20:31.840 --> 02:20:36.840 It's a very important moment for them to get that done. The building tour is on the second round. 02:20:36.840 --> 02:20:39.840 They've got a bit of a wall to now, and they're fighting in the new. They've got to stop them from breaching, 02:20:39.840 --> 02:20:41.920 reaching for the Kingsman, he's got the end goalers, 02:20:41.920 --> 02:20:44.560 gentlemen, he is the number one acro player 02:20:44.560 --> 02:20:46.280 on his first roster. 02:20:46.280 --> 02:20:48.920 He's down 30 HP, proning by the least one throw 02:20:48.920 --> 02:20:50.760 you can tell about, he'll be as good as dead. 02:20:50.760 --> 02:20:52.960 Wow, this is a really gnarly, I didn't know. 02:20:52.960 --> 02:20:55.320 Surely they do, indeed they swing, 02:20:55.320 --> 02:20:56.960 and he goes down for Chatham in. 02:20:56.960 --> 02:21:00.640 However, I'm not allowed to suffer a loss in big J, 02:21:00.640 --> 02:21:02.920 because Oxlust is there to support. 02:21:02.920 --> 02:21:07.000 44, I'm not allowed to really mounting up this pressure 02:21:07.000 --> 02:21:08.180 onto this defense. 02:21:09.840 --> 02:21:13.000 This push and piano, if they go for it, it's going to be everything. 02:21:13.000 --> 02:21:15.640 If they've done the hogslash, I'm suffering any losses. 02:21:15.640 --> 02:21:17.240 He'd get all that before you leave. 02:21:17.240 --> 02:21:19.640 Oh, thanks, you ferris! That makes it harder! 02:21:20.840 --> 02:21:24.440 No second swing here from Shaz. He's got flashes. 02:21:24.440 --> 02:21:28.040 He needed to time it with when his teammate of Shadow pushed. 02:21:28.040 --> 02:21:31.240 And now, killer is in support from behind! 02:21:31.240 --> 02:21:35.640 And HLTARI have brought this round back in their favor. 02:21:35.640 --> 02:21:39.440 K3 and Wag have to go big. Wag has had a lot of big impact. 02:21:39.440 --> 02:21:41.440 rounds in this game so far. 02:21:41.440 --> 02:21:43.440 K3 tosses out a frag. 02:21:43.440 --> 02:21:46.440 Oh no, he doesn't know that Hoxas is still prone. 02:21:46.440 --> 02:21:49.440 Lying on the floor. It's wagged now in a 1v3. 02:21:49.440 --> 02:21:52.440 He has to take matters into his own hands. 02:21:52.440 --> 02:21:56.440 And that starts with Hoxas, who has had a phenomenal round so far. 02:21:56.440 --> 02:21:59.440 He opens it, and he is happy to close it as well. 02:21:59.440 --> 02:22:04.440 HL Tori, find their second as we go to the halftime vibe check. 02:24:09.440 --> 02:24:17.440 damn i like that one bit of energy in the halftime vibe check what do you think 02:24:17.440 --> 02:24:21.840 bengu keep it or delete it i think that's another keeper we're going strong today 02:24:21.840 --> 02:24:28.080 oh yeah we are vibe check by vibe check keep after keep i like this vibe i do 02:24:29.520 --> 02:24:31.920 yeah you're gonna take any self praise for these did you add the 02:24:31.920 --> 02:24:33.440 no actually it was your thing 02:24:33.440 --> 02:24:39.040 Funnily enough, I am not recognizing most of the music that we have played in APL. 02:24:39.040 --> 02:24:42.080 Oh, so you chose all the music then they'd make the card. I see. 02:24:42.080 --> 02:24:48.080 Yeah, I must have. I really, I was passionate about all that. They're like tactical timeout, 02:24:48.080 --> 02:24:53.360 the victory music, the replay music, stuff like that. But no, I didn't know that we were doing 02:24:53.360 --> 02:24:58.000 halftime vibe checks when I was picking the music. So I actually didn't create the halftime 02:24:58.000 --> 02:25:03.360 vibe check playlists. But the team that has made it has been pretty solid. I like that they 02:25:03.360 --> 02:25:08.360 They're not afraid to try something a little bit different. Sometimes there are misses, but there are more hits and misses for sure. 02:25:10.360 --> 02:25:17.360 Speaking of tech timeouts, and the lack of music during them from Euron, I feel like we don't steal on an APL. 02:25:17.360 --> 02:25:24.360 Like, it's like, kind of like off, I have no stats to back this up, but the feeling of, like, we worked EML for a single playday, 02:25:24.360 --> 02:25:31.360 and we worked APL like tons of times on that speed, obviously. I feel like this region on average takes less tech timeouts than other regions. 02:25:31.360 --> 02:25:36.560 regions. Do you have anything like vibe about that? Yeah. Do you feel similar or? No, I would agree. 02:25:37.120 --> 02:25:42.400 We've obviously had one tactical timer in this series so far. It was HLTARI on cafe. I don't know, 02:25:42.400 --> 02:25:46.000 they could have used their tactical timer and ended up losing that match. Of course, 02:25:46.000 --> 02:25:49.760 they had to attack twice in overtime. You would have thought that that would be the perfect 02:25:49.760 --> 02:25:54.560 chance to use their tactical time out, but they didn't. So look, I don't disagree with you. 02:25:54.560 --> 02:26:00.000 Perhaps a working theory is that in regions like Europe, North America, Brazil, obviously there's 02:26:00.000 --> 02:26:06.000 There's a lot more money going around, a lot more organizations, there's a lot more staff as well, supporting the players. 02:26:06.000 --> 02:26:13.000 In APAC, you know, obviously both of these teams were org-less just a few weeks ago and they qualified for APL through the Challenger series. 02:26:13.000 --> 02:26:23.000 And while we know that HLTory has Vaughn coaching them, we don't know if there's much support staff and perhaps the less involved support staff, the less likely a team is to take that article. 02:26:23.000 --> 02:26:25.000 I 02:26:26.120 --> 02:26:29.640 Right angle different player though K3 first on your defense 02:26:30.280 --> 02:26:33.960 Pruning below the library double window if he's using it to go to drone 02:26:34.280 --> 02:26:40.280 He's got send it right outside. He's turning 0 and 6. He needs to skill. He wants to go for it 02:26:40.280 --> 02:26:46.560 That's it removes lying takes away a huge gadget and of course the fracker needs to guess what he's not gonna run away 02:26:46.560 --> 02:26:49.480 James, he is staying with the window for a bit longer 02:26:49.480 --> 02:26:56.480 10th fate, maybe go for another one later on. He's pretty safe for now as well. I like the play, oh he's actually gonna rotate. 02:26:56.480 --> 02:27:02.480 Just realized that's K3's first kill of the map so far, he's died every single round that we played up until this point. 02:27:02.480 --> 02:27:11.480 He's also still got 4 key-barriers in pocket, wow, bit of damage on the Chathamn as well, he's really just trying to let HLTARI know that you are not safe, 02:27:11.480 --> 02:27:13.480 doesn't matter where you are on the map, I am coming for you. 02:27:13.480 --> 02:27:20.480 So, if he gets the kill, he dies at 4kB, in pocket of 5kB now, is it worth it? 02:27:20.480 --> 02:27:21.480 Or is it trolling? 02:27:21.480 --> 02:27:22.480 That's my question. 02:27:22.480 --> 02:27:23.480 It's negative aura. 02:27:23.480 --> 02:27:25.480 Okay, negative aura. 02:27:25.480 --> 02:27:26.480 Shadow dies instead. 02:27:26.480 --> 02:27:29.480 That solo is not as bad, of course, to lose because it's actually... 02:27:29.480 --> 02:27:30.480 What is this? 02:27:30.480 --> 02:27:32.480 A blitz going for the ADS? 02:27:32.480 --> 02:27:33.480 Sounds like crazy dude. 02:27:33.480 --> 02:27:34.480 Turrets in the shunget plate. 02:27:34.480 --> 02:27:37.480 Now the blitz going for the push. 02:27:37.480 --> 02:27:39.480 They got the flying drones as well. 02:27:39.480 --> 02:27:43.760 Well, when solar's being dead they can't find those drones if any other people try to attempt it 02:27:43.760 --> 02:27:47.360 We still see here through an asami deep inside a library in top Messaming 02:27:47.360 --> 02:27:49.500 I don't think they fully read it's gonna be a 02:27:50.040 --> 02:27:57.240 Solarium push this jet and big yellow smoke is in that first position of contact and solarium is quite low on health 02:27:58.600 --> 02:28:01.680 The good way for a big jet to shoot off that keep a barrier 02:28:02.440 --> 02:28:05.800 It's like keep a barrier a Selma. What is going on here out? 02:28:05.800 --> 02:28:08.360 Did he follow the room also fall off the roof man? 02:28:08.360 --> 02:28:11.080 That's rough. That's gonna burn a lot of time 02:28:12.200 --> 02:28:16.040 Some swags gonna have to go outside. He's worried about being peaked from the vert above him 02:28:16.040 --> 02:28:20.880 There are still you till on this window that Chatterman has to chew through to go for a breach 02:28:20.880 --> 02:28:25.520 And they want to breach open the wall from Solarium. They have to get rid of this gate 02:28:25.520 --> 02:28:30.040 They have to prevent big J from swinging and then throw a Selma on there's a lot of tech involved 02:28:30.040 --> 02:28:33.320 There's a lot of coordination involved in that and I don't think this time. This is classic HL 02:28:33.320 --> 02:28:37.280 Tori how many times on cafe do we see them trying to execute 15 seconds left? 02:28:38.360 --> 02:28:44.360 It happens to be awesome, but this time it's obvious that there is a rappeling of windows not going to get pretty flashbang going and hope for the best. 02:28:45.360 --> 02:28:51.360 Oh, killer though, does fight a kill with an AK-3 though, will reply, it's all up to Sunstrike. Wow, very low on HP. 02:28:51.360 --> 02:29:01.360 And finished off by the Razor Bloom to go boom for Unreal Nightmare. It's a good start after a phenomenal attacking half their defenses looking rock solid. 02:29:01.360 --> 02:29:06.960 That's why I said you're grappling the hope for the best because stretch GGB on paper 02:29:06.960 --> 02:29:08.800 there's not a lot of ways to win that round. 02:29:08.800 --> 02:29:12.840 You're up against all the utility, the timer's running low and as I said you literally have 02:29:12.840 --> 02:29:15.080 a staircase and a window rappel. 02:29:15.080 --> 02:29:19.120 It is just the two most difficult ways to take a run fight in this game especially when 02:29:19.120 --> 02:29:23.520 you have a blitz where you have to walk up, get the info, then go for an ADS swing and 02:29:23.520 --> 02:29:26.080 then there's a runigate, raze a boob, etc. 02:29:26.080 --> 02:29:30.520 So they did what they had to, they tried the hardest. 02:29:30.520 --> 02:29:42.520 I am a little bit curious actually, now that I look at the K3's kill tally, if Sledge didn't fall off the roof or got injured from the library hallway window where Shaz is right now, because he has two kills and the assist. 02:29:42.520 --> 02:29:54.520 Now, I didn't look at the exact kill feed and pick apart every different kill, but K3 could have injured the Sledge, that's your assist for the injured, and he died late in the round, and he got a second kill in the cruise bathroom. 02:29:54.520 --> 02:29:59.520 So there is a world where there's an injured, not a falling off the roof angle there from the Sledge last round. 02:29:59.520 --> 02:30:01.520 Yeah, it's possible. I don't want to throw too much shade. 02:30:02.720 --> 02:30:09.320 It's possible, I mean, it looked like he went to his player cabinet or he's a point of view that he didn't go up to because he was laying on the ground. 02:30:09.920 --> 02:30:20.720 But there was also a stitch hemophonic garage in front of him, so I'm not sure if that was him leaving the garage and dying when he walked out in the window or whatever, but either way, it's a huge jump in case you hit a bitty, sloppy start to shelly. 02:30:21.720 --> 02:30:27.520 Yeah, it's crazy. You go 0 and 6 and then you're just like, you know what, I'm going to spawn P2 rounds. And then I got two kills last round. 02:30:27.520 --> 02:30:29.520 I am, and I'm going to spawnpick this round too. 02:30:29.520 --> 02:30:31.520 I respect it. Never mind, he's dead. 02:30:31.520 --> 02:30:33.520 I don't respect it. What a dirty run. 02:30:33.520 --> 02:30:35.520 He's actually... 02:30:36.520 --> 02:30:38.520 I mean, it's literally how it is, right? He's like, 02:30:38.520 --> 02:30:41.520 Oh, great job, you got the kill. Ah, what do you do? Why do you swing the window? 02:30:41.520 --> 02:30:42.520 What are you doing? 02:30:42.520 --> 02:30:44.520 Dude, you did it last round. They're going to be ready for it now. 02:30:44.520 --> 02:30:46.520 Come on, man. Pick a different window. 02:30:46.520 --> 02:30:49.520 The best players in the world, they're honestly doing it 02:30:49.520 --> 02:30:51.520 every round of committing to it. They'll do it one round, 02:30:51.520 --> 02:30:53.520 and in the next round, they'll kind of do it, 02:30:53.520 --> 02:30:56.520 but they'll just do it in such a safe way that they're never going to die. 02:30:56.520 --> 02:31:02.820 And the chance I get a kill is also very low, but they're just keeping that pressure up and buying time for their team. 02:31:05.820 --> 02:31:20.420 Again, we know Hazel Tori tend to be a slow attacking team, so this wouldn't be one of those cases where if you don't get this bomb peek and you die instead, which of course would happen this round, you're giving them essentially 20 to 30 seconds of extra time. 02:31:20.420 --> 02:31:24.720 The reason for all this is they have one less roamer now to fight on the roam game. 02:31:24.720 --> 02:31:30.220 All they gotta make the bombs are weaker and surrender a player there to replace the player who died earlier. 02:31:30.220 --> 02:31:34.220 And of course you just have an easier way into the building in general because there's more gaps now. 02:31:34.220 --> 02:31:38.020 So getting a kill is gonna give you time on the attack. 02:31:38.020 --> 02:31:41.020 Just like getting killed on defense gives you time in reverse. 02:31:41.020 --> 02:31:43.420 The six long group of the attackers are clear the same amount of space. 02:31:43.420 --> 02:31:45.720 There's less bodies and less drones to do so. 02:31:45.720 --> 02:31:56.720 So, Angel Tori now, yes it looks a bit slow, 125 in the clock here, but if you have a quicker way to speed up later, you're having less guns facing your direction. 02:31:58.720 --> 02:32:05.720 Still quite a bit of a roam game alive. Downstairs, Shadow gets spotted and finally taken down by Shadow and good patience there. 02:32:05.720 --> 02:32:07.720 as Devon is about to go down here. 02:32:07.720 --> 02:32:10.720 Hoxas deep in the site looking for something. 02:32:10.720 --> 02:32:13.720 Upstairs, Killer is holding down the display hallway 02:32:13.720 --> 02:32:16.720 and yet, nobody is home on the objective. 02:32:16.720 --> 02:32:19.720 Hoxas confirms the plant, gets to the post. 02:32:19.720 --> 02:32:22.720 Shaz, nice little wallbang on a 10-0, but 1v5. 02:32:22.720 --> 02:32:26.720 Even on his best day, this is probably not achievable. 02:32:28.720 --> 02:32:30.720 It shouldn't be. 02:32:30.720 --> 02:32:32.720 Again, you got the upstairs and downstairs 02:32:32.720 --> 02:32:34.720 and outside the bomb-side window. 02:32:34.720 --> 02:32:39.840 post-planted Hazel Tori. Again, two people take down a spawn peeker. They cannot reset 02:32:39.840 --> 02:32:44.960 the round for a bit. They watch their flank so patiently in the basement and they don't do that 02:32:44.960 --> 02:32:51.760 execute before they get a significant player advantage. 5v3 and I know the bomb site is weakened. 02:32:51.760 --> 02:32:56.640 All of these small things should almost happen because K3 went for the swing. Had he not died, 02:32:56.640 --> 02:33:00.400 Smoke doesn't play on the roam. It means he can take down the bomb site, then either plant there, 02:33:00.400 --> 02:33:03.920 support after they go for a swing and die, maybe you don't feel like they need to flank 02:33:03.920 --> 02:33:08.560 in basement because you have a command advantage or implement power. Literally one person dying 02:33:08.560 --> 02:33:14.720 in a battle location can turn the entire outcome because somebody has to either replace that position 02:33:14.720 --> 02:33:19.520 or just not have a player there at all, even if somebody else is spot because there's no crossfire. 02:33:20.160 --> 02:33:24.320 So it's really these open kills can do such a big damage on towards defense. 02:33:24.960 --> 02:33:30.160 Also just sometimes right up red, right place. Warden, who's the one who died 02:33:30.160 --> 02:33:34.560 spawn peeking and he been on the bombsite at the end there doesn't matter how many smokes you deploy 02:33:34.560 --> 02:33:37.040 He's peeking through them and you can deny the plant 02:33:37.680 --> 02:33:40.960 That's what we saw from HLTARI on their defense of that exact 02:33:41.600 --> 02:33:44.960 Bombsite so I'm not right there. Just keep on to get to complacence 02:33:46.320 --> 02:33:48.320 K3 you're not him 02:33:54.320 --> 02:33:59.440 And we'll swap up bombsites as well so dining and kitchen for the first time for unreal nightmare 02:33:59.440 --> 02:34:02.320 They won on the top floor. They lost on bargaming. 02:34:03.200 --> 02:34:05.200 I like that they're not going basement. 02:34:05.200 --> 02:34:08.400 Now either of these teams are trying to get tempted by 02:34:09.520 --> 02:34:12.720 Arguably worst bombsite at a competitive level on this map. 02:34:12.720 --> 02:34:13.220 Yeah. 02:34:16.000 --> 02:34:17.200 Well, it is a tough one. 02:34:17.200 --> 02:34:20.960 Again, when you have a bombsite with exterior breaches, where you can't roam and support them, 02:34:21.520 --> 02:34:23.200 they're guaranteed to get opened up. 02:34:23.200 --> 02:34:25.680 And that just means bombsite is vulnerable from us at the building. 02:34:25.680 --> 02:34:27.520 And it gets really messy very quickly. 02:34:27.520 --> 02:34:29.520 With a map screen, Shalak can give you more map control. 02:34:29.520 --> 02:34:31.520 This could be a rock, maybe a quarry. 02:34:31.520 --> 02:34:33.520 Look at the cobblestone, they're building, they're gonna call for it. 02:34:33.520 --> 02:34:35.520 He's deep in the site. Is there anybody home? 02:34:35.520 --> 02:34:36.520 There is not. There's one in the kitchen. 02:34:36.520 --> 02:34:39.520 One player inside the kitchen. They might get a bit of damage on. 02:34:39.520 --> 02:34:41.520 Oxlust. Oh no, he turned him out. 02:34:41.520 --> 02:34:44.520 To try and go for a plant with the shield in his back, 02:34:44.520 --> 02:34:47.520 but unfortunately for him, he didn't start planting early enough. 02:34:47.520 --> 02:34:51.520 The shield didn't protect him, and Shaz has held down on the trophy stairs 02:34:51.520 --> 02:34:55.520 every single attacker that tries to march on through to his position. 02:34:55.520 --> 02:35:02.800 finish up another. Sunstrike 1v4 on the glise and Unreal Nightmare. Can you sit back and 02:35:02.800 --> 02:35:12.720 relax? There's nothing to be done. Yeah this is uh I mean again on a round maybe take a small 02:35:12.720 --> 02:35:16.160 breather and just call it put a good tactic on the timeout without actually calling it. 02:35:19.520 --> 02:35:23.600 He doesn't get to take the fake attack timeout to talk to you about the next upcoming round 02:35:23.600 --> 02:35:28.520 because they had criss into the swing and they'd take him instead beautiful but a 02:35:28.520 --> 02:35:37.420 bit about a book match point for Pengu and Dev Mada and unreal nightmare I was 02:35:37.420 --> 02:35:40.820 gonna say match point for us Pengu but then I didn't say us and I was like 02:35:40.820 --> 02:35:44.180 match point for Pengu so your congratulations Peng you're a match point 02:35:44.180 --> 02:35:49.280 I'm about a win dude let's go hell yeah oh this has been a very different story 02:35:49.280 --> 02:35:54.800 cafe cafe was the first half felt one-sided second half felt very close 02:35:54.800 --> 02:36:02.200 overtime felt very close and sadly she'll I just hasn't been as close couple of 02:36:02.200 --> 02:36:05.640 good rounds from hateful sorry but not nearly enough to make this a competitive 02:36:05.640 --> 02:36:10.080 fight and I know that they they came back they fended up too much points on 02:36:10.080 --> 02:36:14.760 cafe but I don't think they'll do the same here on Shelly it does seem a lot 02:36:14.760 --> 02:36:19.880 more unlikely, that's for sure. And I guess in that last round rush, it really is this 02:36:19.880 --> 02:36:27.480 Hito Tori again missing out on like the 1% play, right? They're not losing in the 99 where like 02:36:27.480 --> 02:36:31.960 they're failing all of these areas. They do the right thing, they have a good read, they have 02:36:31.960 --> 02:36:39.160 the right attack strategy both given setup, but they just miss one small thing. And I'm not sure 02:36:39.160 --> 02:36:43.720 if there was a sound issue or a confidence issue there, they do the look that they call, 02:36:43.720 --> 02:36:48.040 they rush in the bomb site, and instead of clearing kitchen and making sure there's nobody playing 02:36:48.040 --> 02:36:52.520 by the site itself, they just instantly start planting before the smoke could pop, before it 02:36:52.520 --> 02:36:57.320 covers the stat list, etc. If you don't hear the guy in kitchen, you got a face chicken with the 02:36:57.320 --> 02:37:00.600 blitz, because the assumption is always unless you have perfect turn and throw, there's at least 02:37:00.600 --> 02:37:04.600 one defender by the bomb site every single round. You can never assume that it's clear, 02:37:04.600 --> 02:37:08.520 you assume there's one person so you can't find them, then you can think that it's clear. 02:37:08.520 --> 02:37:13.080 They didn't hear the guy being told to be called, I guess, and they didn't check it either. That's the 1% mistake. 02:37:13.080 --> 02:37:19.340 It's either you hear them, or you check them. You can't just do neither and stop planting and hoping that enemy is AFK. 02:37:19.340 --> 02:37:26.780 Um, potentially if they do plant that diffuser, I mean, that's gonna be a massive chance of winning the moment the plant dies, the opposite. 02:37:26.780 --> 02:37:28.780 Now there's almost no chance for it. 02:37:28.780 --> 02:37:40.860 See just such a plant game like retaking and like as defender you know given in the bombs 02:37:40.860 --> 02:37:43.260 are the free it's just not a thing in this game really. 02:37:43.260 --> 02:37:47.740 We see it very rarely and even more rarely successful to like give the bomb such a goal 02:37:47.740 --> 02:37:49.220 for a 2-way to retake. 02:37:49.220 --> 02:37:53.780 The post on the seed is just disgustingly strong for the attackers. 02:37:53.780 --> 02:37:57.580 Just like if you die in the plant location the defenders have a much higher win rate 02:37:57.580 --> 02:38:00.460 because now the user is talking in a really awkward location. 02:38:00.460 --> 02:38:04.060 You can watch them below, you know, beneath a bath, whatever. 02:38:05.260 --> 02:38:07.900 C4 smokes, et cetera, so much tendon aisle in this game. 02:38:07.900 --> 02:38:10.060 So it really is so many rounds from down 02:38:10.060 --> 02:38:12.460 to either trying to plant or successfully fending. 02:38:12.460 --> 02:38:15.900 Yeah, I do guess it is somewhat situational and not dependent. 02:38:16.540 --> 02:38:18.060 I just picked the shadow. 02:38:18.060 --> 02:38:20.740 We've seen the best teams in the world will know 02:38:20.740 --> 02:38:24.220 when not to over-aggress as a defense 02:38:24.660 --> 02:38:26.540 when the attack is close to a bomb site. 02:38:26.540 --> 02:38:30.300 Sometimes it's about, okay, plant them, sometimes it's about disrupting before they plant. 02:38:30.300 --> 02:38:35.180 Sometimes, especially like if you're in a 4v3, for example, it might be guys, let them in, 02:38:35.180 --> 02:38:40.060 or let them start planting and then we aggress, because let's say you're in a 4v3 as a defense, 02:38:40.060 --> 02:38:44.620 plant starts going down, you're in a 4v2, essentially, because one guy is planting. 02:38:44.620 --> 02:38:49.820 That's when you make your move. It's situational. Wow, what a shot from Tenno. This is too aggressive 02:38:49.820 --> 02:38:54.620 from Unreal Nightmare, getting a little bit ahead of themselves. And this is the thing, 02:38:54.620 --> 02:39:00.780 Whenever Unreal Nightmare, like, lose an early kill, it's very hard for them to convert that back. 02:39:00.780 --> 02:39:05.020 Like, when you're in a 3v5, these guys tend to just double down an HL Tori, 02:39:05.020 --> 02:39:08.780 because they place us early, they don't let Unreal Nightmare back into it. 02:39:08.780 --> 02:39:14.220 And now it's a 2v4, and I think HL Tori are tempted to get back into it. 02:39:14.220 --> 02:39:16.620 Shaz finds a double, he's the last one left. 02:39:16.620 --> 02:39:22.620 Guy has 13 kills, by the way, he's gonna need to ace up this round to keep his team in it, 02:39:22.620 --> 02:39:30.260 But they are finding a fourth round lost and unfortunately that is the way things go for HL Torrey and another round on the board two more and over time 02:39:31.020 --> 02:39:33.020 Could be on the dockets 02:39:33.260 --> 02:39:36.940 It's a long way to get there. I'll need a couple of more rounds like that. I 02:39:38.420 --> 02:39:42.580 Really hope that somebody in that team of one of your nightmares guys 02:39:42.780 --> 02:39:48.140 Remember how we were winning before we lost it on cafe remember how we're winning here on chalet 02:39:48.140 --> 02:39:53.140 Hazel Tori when they are on the attack and side, they are not what we call typical playmakers. 02:39:53.140 --> 02:39:58.140 They are not often a team to go in the building and fight for the map clear and get building and kill. 02:39:58.140 --> 02:40:06.140 They often rely on having a player holding a window, cutting off rotation, and the defenders walk it into the line of sight. 02:40:06.140 --> 02:40:11.140 They are very slow methodical. If under Nightmare, they just have to be bought in the early stages around, 02:40:11.140 --> 02:40:17.140 don't go for the flank, don't go for the window swing, Hazel Tori is waiting for them to do it. 02:40:17.140 --> 02:40:20.580 If you didn't never do it, they're just waiting without giving any value back. 02:40:20.580 --> 02:40:24.380 You install so much time and force them to a poor location. 02:40:24.940 --> 02:40:29.020 So I feel like if you're under the map, may I play a bit safer in the early season around, 02:40:29.300 --> 02:40:32.580 play around the bomb site on the late stage and just give them time 02:40:32.700 --> 02:40:34.420 because it favors the defense always. 02:40:34.460 --> 02:40:37.420 Give the attackers time to do nothing and keep burning down that clock. 02:40:44.260 --> 02:40:45.860 A little chance to just get a rehash. 02:40:45.860 --> 02:40:51.060 Well that's cute, I like that from Killis, it's actually got a little APL wallpaper on his second monitor. 02:40:53.060 --> 02:40:53.860 That's very nice. 02:40:53.860 --> 02:40:56.360 Oh it's the Vmix, it's the feed. 02:40:56.360 --> 02:41:02.960 Yeah, yeah, it's the feed for him to send his facecam to the production team. 02:41:04.060 --> 02:41:08.860 Very cool, it's kind of a cool thing to have on your second monitor, just this big splash screen that says APL. 02:41:09.960 --> 02:41:14.660 You know one thing I often think about is like what's the difference between game day and a regular day. 02:41:14.660 --> 02:41:20.240 Obviously, if you're affidant at a tournament, a LAN event, it's very obvious, you know, you're not playing on your normal setup, 02:41:20.240 --> 02:41:26.520 you're in a physical space that feels very different, and that has its own, you know, 02:41:26.520 --> 02:41:29.840 levels of nerves it adds to you, also levels of excitement. 02:41:29.840 --> 02:41:33.960 What about for just a regular playday? How do you tell yourself it's not just a scrim? 02:41:33.960 --> 02:41:37.720 And that's one little part of it, you have the little APL splash screen to say good-bye to that. 02:41:37.720 --> 02:41:46.660 I mean so many players have different routines to get into match day mindset right and I 02:41:46.660 --> 02:41:51.480 think it's funny because there are some players who just wake up and they just play the game 02:41:51.480 --> 02:41:55.520 and that's it you know no warm up ritual no real way of approaching it. 02:41:55.520 --> 02:42:00.480 Near people who have to wake up exactly at 7.28 and then they gotta get into the shower 02:42:00.480 --> 02:42:04.560 and a five minute time spanner they're gonna have the mental choke and then like first 02:42:04.560 --> 02:42:08.000 the left shoe then the right shoe and you're gonna get the right height with the monitor 02:42:08.000 --> 02:42:12.560 like so specific and so niche and you can get the exact same level the highest of the 02:42:12.560 --> 02:42:19.640 competition one being super obsessive about the minor details and one not giving a fly 02:42:19.640 --> 02:42:22.360 about it at all. 02:42:22.360 --> 02:42:23.360 What kind of player are you James? 02:42:23.360 --> 02:42:26.160 Do you have like a lot of ritual obviously you don't play pro league but when you go 02:42:26.160 --> 02:42:29.920 into a seed suspect when you're grinding you're in the moment do you have specific things 02:42:29.920 --> 02:42:32.120 that has to be a certain way to play the game at your level? 02:42:32.120 --> 02:42:38.120 Good question. I feel like I used to be a lot more like that, but these days, no, not really. 02:42:38.120 --> 02:42:41.880 In fact, I find it's a part of it is about knowing yourself, right? 02:42:41.880 --> 02:42:48.640 And I think for me, I'm someone that when I try and make a big deal out of things, I play worse, like, because I'm a classic overthinker. 02:42:48.640 --> 02:42:53.160 Like, I'm just one of those people that not just, but in life in general, I overthink. 02:42:53.160 --> 02:42:57.920 So when I just try and chill and make things very normal, you know, it's better. 02:42:57.920 --> 02:43:09.920 I also know I'm sometimes I get caught in the trap of distracting myself, you know, as every time, you know, you get back in the queue, I open up my phone, and I just, you know, you open the same three apps over and over, and you're like, what am I doing here? 02:43:09.920 --> 02:43:20.920 I'm actually like, I'm just seeking dopamine. I'm not actually doing anything productive. And I think it's just good to identify what are the bad habits that maybe you should kick. 02:43:20.920 --> 02:43:25.920 Yeah. And what are the good habits that maybe, you know, work for you? 02:43:25.920 --> 02:43:27.000 That's hard. 02:43:27.000 --> 02:43:29.120 I think critical thinking in that, 02:43:29.120 --> 02:43:30.640 I really respect people who can do it 02:43:30.640 --> 02:43:32.960 because I think it's so hard to reflect accurately 02:43:32.960 --> 02:43:36.080 without bias and go, I know this is bad for me 02:43:36.080 --> 02:43:39.780 and then actually make a change towards bettering it. 02:43:40.760 --> 02:43:42.520 Because I think finding the issue in the first place, 02:43:42.520 --> 02:43:43.480 that's difficult. 02:43:43.480 --> 02:43:45.240 And then finding the solution for it 02:43:45.240 --> 02:43:49.280 and fixing like a year long bad habit, for example, 02:43:49.280 --> 02:43:51.040 is even more difficult. 02:43:51.040 --> 02:43:53.000 We all know that troll doom schooling is bad for you 02:43:53.000 --> 02:43:54.320 in bed in the morning and night, right? 02:43:54.320 --> 02:43:55.320 You're gonna lose so much sleep 02:43:55.320 --> 02:43:57.320 and you're gonna wake up the wrongs of the bed and whatnot. 02:43:57.320 --> 02:43:58.320 But we all do it anyway. 02:43:58.320 --> 02:43:59.560 Yeah, we all know it's bad. 02:43:59.560 --> 02:44:01.560 Yeah, we all do it. 02:44:01.560 --> 02:44:03.040 It's the classic, it's the classic. 02:44:03.040 --> 02:44:05.360 What about you, what are your game day rituals now? 02:44:05.360 --> 02:44:07.520 Obviously, they'll be different to when you compete it. 02:44:07.520 --> 02:44:10.280 But if you're gonna lock in, try and farm some healer, 02:44:10.280 --> 02:44:11.120 what's your set? 02:44:11.120 --> 02:44:11.960 What's your... 02:44:11.960 --> 02:44:13.600 Dude, it's so bad. 02:44:13.600 --> 02:44:17.080 So currently, I am on the early AM grind 02:44:17.080 --> 02:44:18.560 from the ranked streams that I do, 02:44:18.560 --> 02:44:21.160 because that's when the ranked stack that I play with is on, 02:44:21.160 --> 02:44:23.200 and I find that there are less people 02:44:23.200 --> 02:44:24.560 cheating early morning and whatnot. 02:44:24.560 --> 02:44:29.080 I really wake up at 8 a.m. And at 9 a.m. Flat the stream is live 02:44:29.080 --> 02:44:34.180 I'm cream for ranked and champ illo and I'm just I'm getting the bread and it is literally wake up 02:44:35.200 --> 02:44:37.040 In the shower 02:44:37.040 --> 02:44:41.820 Get my chair. I'm tired skip breakfast and doing into rank. You don't have breakfast 02:44:42.360 --> 02:44:44.360 I'm not a breakfast person 02:44:44.360 --> 02:44:48.760 Especially when I have to work off the rip that is great back back in the day 02:44:48.760 --> 02:44:51.240 I was definitely a bit more specific like I had to 02:44:51.240 --> 02:44:56.960 wake up have an hour to myself get some food shower or think about the game or 02:44:56.960 --> 02:45:01.920 prep some stuff and and and whatnot now I'm a bit more I think it's relaxed you 02:45:01.920 --> 02:45:06.080 know being a pro player and now being retired I care a lot less about the 02:45:06.080 --> 02:45:10.160 min-maxing I would change my mouse and keyboard every day my since it's TVT my 02:45:10.160 --> 02:45:14.520 mouse pad I'll try and optimize PC settings and all these small nice things 02:45:14.520 --> 02:45:18.600 to chase the level of perfection that you want as a pro player that they are 02:45:18.600 --> 02:45:23.160 retired I lost that at a limit of myself because it's so tiring and you start over thinking like 02:45:23.160 --> 02:45:27.960 you said it's my sense wrong should I play four things for the 16 by 10 everything becomes a 02:45:27.960 --> 02:45:33.400 possible problem in your mind. I want to know you guys in the chat what is your game day ritual 02:45:33.400 --> 02:45:48.440 tell us and we'll be back in just a moment to restart this game. 02:47:18.600 --> 02:47:39.680 The shout out to Hugo Penguin and Chad for saying MFC I think that's literally what 02:47:39.680 --> 02:47:42.120 we're here for my dude. 02:47:42.120 --> 02:47:43.120 That's my job. 02:47:43.120 --> 02:47:47.200 Literally what we're here for man you see the game had to stop for a brief moment you 02:47:47.200 --> 02:47:52.720 to have a little pause but guess what thank you we're back we're back we're back baby which means 02:47:52.720 --> 02:47:56.560 we don't have to yep actually we still have to get you know that's part of it kind of the game 02:47:56.560 --> 02:48:02.320 stops the game starts we still have to yeah um i have kept my eye on the chat to see if anyone 02:48:02.320 --> 02:48:07.760 has any game day rituals but i got nothing they haven't gotten there yet nothing they haven't 02:48:07.760 --> 02:48:13.440 gotten there yet well yeah because of the the delay on the stream whatever i'll keep my eye on it um 02:48:13.440 --> 02:48:18.480 my shout out for a game day ritual that I know from traditional sports and I think I probably 02:48:18.480 --> 02:48:22.560 mentioned it before on the car so you're probably gonna roll your eyes at me thank you but Rafa Nadal 02:48:22.560 --> 02:48:28.800 famous Spanish tennis player and his classic little lining up his drink bottle and all his bags 02:48:28.800 --> 02:48:34.240 and everything like to the millimeter before he starts a game and then before every single point 02:48:34.240 --> 02:48:39.600 he does this little adjusts his like shorts adjusts his shirt and like wipes his face and it's just 02:48:39.600 --> 02:48:46.240 so funny because he just does it exact same way every single point and I love to see it. 02:48:46.240 --> 02:48:47.680 I'm very fond of it. 02:48:47.680 --> 02:48:50.960 The little mental reset, you know, like this way. 02:48:50.960 --> 02:48:55.680 Again, if you can put yourself in a zone in a forced manner to like play at the highest level 02:48:55.680 --> 02:48:58.080 of your personal skill, like that's the key. 02:48:58.080 --> 02:49:01.840 Like the flow state is when that a lot of esports players to talk about is when you 02:49:01.840 --> 02:49:07.920 reach this extreme high level of focus and concentration and you're just flowing. 02:49:07.920 --> 02:49:13.460 If you can reach that state by forcing it, by doing certain specific nice things, basically in real life, 02:49:13.460 --> 02:49:17.300 there's a cheat code, because most people cannot reach slow state force. 02:49:17.300 --> 02:49:20.300 It's something that happens in certain moments. 02:49:20.900 --> 02:49:25.920 So, if you have a small ritual that can like really kick up your performance, I mean, again, cheat code level. 02:49:25.920 --> 02:49:26.660 Yeah, I love it. 02:49:27.920 --> 02:49:33.340 Well, if Jiltari suddenly need a cheat code right now to get themselves back into it, two more rounds to push over time. 02:49:33.340 --> 02:49:39.120 But last round was actually very convincing for them on this attacking side. They picked apart under the nightmare very early 02:49:39.120 --> 02:49:41.660 I'm looking at K3. This guy's got to be careful 02:49:41.660 --> 02:49:45.600 He's got a curb his aggression on this defensive side because yes, it worked in one round 02:49:45.600 --> 02:49:51.920 But aside from then he's been picked off early and I'm a nightmare just need to play the percentages here 02:49:53.460 --> 02:49:58.840 And those last talking from for the V host was I'm gonna let me play more passive and defense because he's a Tory 02:49:58.840 --> 02:50:04.840 They're not into counterplayers. They will watch angles, watch windows, cut off rotations, and if you run into the crosshair, you'll die. 02:50:04.840 --> 02:50:12.840 But look at the timer. Nobody's in the building on the attack from HL Tari, and nobody's even in an easy gunfight from the exterior. 02:50:12.840 --> 02:50:15.840 Still from the interior, so to say. 02:50:15.840 --> 02:50:21.840 So, it's a stormy. Nothing's happening. But guess what? On real nightmare defending, they liked that. They liked that nothing's happening. 02:50:21.840 --> 02:50:29.020 enjoy. Now it goes to E1D that tells HLTARI that it's time to go and it tells 02:50:29.020 --> 02:50:33.780 Omronite to prepare for the unexpected. Killa does jump in a display, he gets taken 02:50:33.780 --> 02:50:37.860 down by Shaz and Elamide I believe just saved him from the second player. What is 02:50:37.860 --> 02:50:42.420 that? An aggressive swing, the player on the window goes down. Shaz might be able 02:50:42.420 --> 02:50:46.660 to be re-peaked here by hops last, but look at the aggression from Shaz. He 02:50:46.660 --> 02:50:50.620 might have fought for his position on the library stairs, but Sunstrike still 02:50:50.620 --> 02:51:00.060 have so much work to do. Beautiful shot. 2v4. Not very likely but achievable. Necessary 02:51:00.060 --> 02:51:06.740 here for HLTARI as it's now a 1v4 K3. By the skill of the pistol, hox last, world of 02:51:06.740 --> 02:51:12.100 pain. They're gonna go gunning for it. They're gonna run outside. They're gonna go big. Only 02:51:12.100 --> 02:51:18.660 one round left and it's in the bag for Unreal Nightmare. Shelly is theirs and we have to 02:51:18.660 --> 02:51:23.800 to go the distance to Knighthaven Labs to settle the score line, the third maps coming 02:51:23.800 --> 02:51:24.800 up after this break. 02:52:18.660 --> 02:52:38.140 and 02:53:38.140 --> 02:53:43.140 This person invited PD Boom or producer Boom. 02:53:43.140 --> 02:53:50.140 Boom asked in-blog to ask if he was interested in ice-picks. 02:53:50.140 --> 02:53:53.140 He said he had a white shirt inside. 02:53:53.140 --> 02:53:56.140 Later on, there will be a tour. 02:53:56.140 --> 02:53:59.140 In Thailand, there is no official tour. 02:53:59.140 --> 02:54:03.140 Or a big tour. It's a small tour. 02:54:03.140 --> 02:54:10.740 That's why I said it was a starting point for us to enter the competition as a main character. 02:54:10.740 --> 02:54:15.180 Because Boomb asked me if I wanted to be part of the team. 02:54:15.180 --> 02:54:17.080 Was it interesting? 02:54:17.080 --> 02:54:24.180 I was interested in having a good profile, so I had to go. 02:54:24.180 --> 02:54:31.700 That's why it's an important point that I would like to focus on as a professional player. 02:54:33.140 --> 02:54:35.140 I 03:02:03.140 --> 03:02:31.580 So, it's tied up one map each in the series and we go to Nighthaven Labs to settle it 03:02:31.580 --> 03:02:33.660 between H.L.Tauri and Unreal Nightmare. 03:02:33.660 --> 03:02:35.880 Uh, look, let's be real, Peggy. 03:02:35.880 --> 03:02:37.560 Map 1, very close. 03:02:37.560 --> 03:02:40.560 Map 2, Unreal Nightmare kind of ran away with it. 03:02:41.460 --> 03:02:46.440 They did, and honestly, you know, on paper, it was kind of expected. 03:02:46.440 --> 03:02:49.280 I think the nature of the map for Shelly and Nightmare, 03:02:49.280 --> 03:02:51.440 they're both going to play much more Unreal Nightmares 03:02:51.440 --> 03:02:53.100 based on the H.L.Tauri's. 03:02:53.100 --> 03:02:55.780 But then because Cathie was a good game for me for Tauri, 03:02:55.780 --> 03:02:57.480 I was like, you know, I believe in them. 03:02:57.480 --> 03:03:00.620 I think it's good for Shelly too, but I was doing wrong. 03:03:00.620 --> 03:03:10.260 on real nightmare, they kick out the Pays, they keep disrupting his historic plans, and they counter them on defense, staying passive, and then that's Hamillon low every single time at the end. 03:03:10.260 --> 03:03:20.700 Yeah, of course, it does lead us to that three. HLT has a good chance here to come back on the third, but our nightmare are very much in control at the moment. 03:03:20.700 --> 03:03:24.740 as we head to Knight Haven Labs as our decider. 03:03:24.740 --> 03:03:28.460 It's an elimination game here in the lower bracket of the APL, 03:03:28.460 --> 03:03:30.460 the Asia region of kickoff. 03:03:30.460 --> 03:03:36.380 Both of these teams trying to run the Golden all the way into that lower bracket final. 03:03:36.380 --> 03:03:41.100 Of course, two teams from this region will go and play at the Salt Lake City Major, 03:03:41.100 --> 03:03:44.220 which means that it's a fight for second place. 03:03:44.220 --> 03:03:48.940 These two teams have come up through the tier two circuit through the Challenger Series. 03:03:48.940 --> 03:03:52.540 It is a huge task ahead of them, and it starts here on Night Haven. 03:03:53.420 --> 03:03:58.780 I would love in Muncie been here from Unreal Nightmare, not in the first rotation, but in the 03:03:58.780 --> 03:04:03.100 second. The reason why I say not in the first, you don't want to show your hand when you go for 03:04:03.100 --> 03:04:07.100 a counter pick, because then they can do a counter ban later on. For example, if you bet, 03:04:07.100 --> 03:04:12.060 they ban the Muncie around one, maybe they ban a Clash round two, because then they can enable 03:04:12.060 --> 03:04:16.860 the other shield operators. What I'm curious if Unreal Nightmare feel the same way. The reason 03:04:16.860 --> 03:04:22.140 why I say it, Monty was instrumental in Kafei, you know, how Higel Tori found a couple of their 03:04:22.140 --> 03:04:27.260 attacking victories. And while not even that easily, or at least a good Monty map, it is going 03:04:27.260 --> 03:04:31.900 to give this roster on the attacking style side a lot of stability. Monty has started up on a 03:04:31.900 --> 03:04:36.780 ban phase, it's going to be Grim and Ying, so much more focus on the late round, execute with the 03:04:36.780 --> 03:04:42.620 Elector Bros being banned from action in response. Yeah, a lot of the Elector Bro ban, especially 03:04:42.620 --> 03:04:48.540 when you end up attacking basement it's just so much easier to deal with you don't have to worry 03:04:48.540 --> 03:04:54.940 about bringing that shit or having to bring EMPs freeze up your lineup a lot makes the battle 03:04:54.940 --> 03:04:59.740 less about breaching the wall and more about breaking into the site however the problem is 03:04:59.740 --> 03:05:04.300 that you have to do it lays the defense like the Izami and I think the Izami is another one that 03:05:04.300 --> 03:05:09.500 might be a target of that operator band especially at the moment you know being defended by lag on 03:05:09.500 --> 03:05:17.580 the uh, what am I? It's gonna be hard, uh, to break through here for HLTARI on the attacking side as we go to the top four first up. 03:05:21.580 --> 03:05:27.500 Now, Shalier plays under a similar matter where HLTARI in defense, they have to be very good, sorry, 03:05:27.500 --> 03:05:32.460 on attack, that's not what attacks, they gotta be very good at getting the opening pick and getting map control, 03:05:32.460 --> 03:05:36.860 because what they did on both Kafei and Shalier is when they're attacking, they're stalling out, 03:05:36.860 --> 03:05:41.980 holding angles, waiting for the enemy to make the first move. Defenders don't need to make the 03:05:41.980 --> 03:05:47.100 first move unless you feel pressured and forced into it, unless they just seem to get impatient and 03:05:47.100 --> 03:05:52.780 lose focus and then do it of course, which is a mistake. So, Major Tori, they gotta work the 03:05:52.780 --> 03:05:57.180 breach, use them the exterior, they can be on connector side, of course, IT, they gotta get 03:05:57.180 --> 03:06:01.740 in the building, try and fight for counter-office control, and then they can hit the side after. 03:06:01.740 --> 03:06:05.820 So it's kind of important that if you divide the ramp up into three stages, you can say 03:06:05.820 --> 03:06:11.700 The first minute is gonna get the breach, the second is gonna be of course getting the crucial map control like Daryx can't walk, 03:06:11.700 --> 03:06:14.880 and the last minute is gonna be about the bombs that execute. 03:06:14.880 --> 03:06:19.000 So you can kinda use those like three minutes, it's like where they should be in the map. 03:06:19.000 --> 03:06:23.380 If they haven't gotten the breach in the first two seconds, they're officially behind the curve. 03:06:23.380 --> 03:06:26.380 They gotta make up that in the second step, and so on and so forth. 03:06:27.020 --> 03:06:31.020 I think that's breached. Ooh, that's a nicely placed Ratero from Flores. 03:06:31.020 --> 03:06:38.220 open up quite a lot more flexibility attacking that rafters position by taking both of those walls down 03:06:38.220 --> 03:06:45.180 looks like they are just behind your preferred timing gear that's now the second main wall open 03:06:45.740 --> 03:06:49.980 in just over a minute but the real question here is how Sunstrike gonna go on the vert 03:06:49.980 --> 03:06:53.980 great pick on the shadow couldn't ask for a better operator to take down than the Yuzami 03:06:54.860 --> 03:06:58.140 yeah and because of that yeah there's no beast in the wall but they get two pigs 03:06:58.140 --> 03:07:08.940 They get tower control for free, they get the point of strike, with flank airjab is successful, they get the information downstairs, all of a sudden they are speeding into that third step for execute, but they lose clock below. 03:07:08.940 --> 03:07:23.540 Now they wait with leakage, killer does trade yet, nice, well played, he was constantly watching the flank, it doesn't matter that we lost the puck, he's done his job, and now there's just two players left on the defensive side, really good round for H.L.Tari so far. 03:07:23.540 --> 03:07:30.540 I'm not afford to make any mistakes on the executors, they take control of rafters and start to ramp up that pressure on the bomb side. 03:07:30.540 --> 03:07:32.540 They've been so proactive. 03:07:32.540 --> 03:07:36.540 Locked downstairs with the Nomak, camps are flanking, watching the flank drones rather. 03:07:36.540 --> 03:07:42.540 Haven't even used the utility on Cabotile because they found the pigs are free, with their guns caught in off those angles. 03:07:42.540 --> 03:07:45.540 And they know right now, Nomak, they have to go for a distance thing. 03:07:45.540 --> 03:07:47.540 So they're all just waiting and watching those angles together. 03:07:47.540 --> 03:07:48.540 Nice. 03:07:48.540 --> 03:07:50.540 They got the injured onto the warden as well. 03:07:50.540 --> 03:07:55.700 Well, now another breach on the main wall plus now hoxas is rotating over the top blue 03:07:55.700 --> 03:08:01.620 He's not even needed to get into the action because everyone from HLTAR is gun up and ready to take fights with the final player 03:08:01.620 --> 03:08:08.860 A great start really convincing attack in the first round. Yeah, it really is and it also actually shows us that they can play 03:08:08.860 --> 03:08:11.620 They're proactive right they were creating the building they got the airships down 03:08:11.620 --> 03:08:16.940 They got the same choice they did the park vertical destruction and they won the round by their own doings 03:08:16.940 --> 03:08:24.940 So now that we're seeing this, they might go, okay, we can't treat this like Shelly Cafe where we gotta sit back and just watch them not do anything 03:08:24.940 --> 03:08:27.940 because they're actually playing the game quickly in the attacks now. 03:08:27.940 --> 03:08:31.940 So now it might be a matter of let's disrupt them from getting their plan. 03:08:31.940 --> 03:08:36.940 That can mean burning utility or fighting for kills in map control, for example. 03:08:36.940 --> 03:08:39.940 On the basement, you can play the roam game pretty aggressively. 03:08:39.940 --> 03:08:41.940 The garbage or solace, that's probably what's going to happen. 03:08:41.940 --> 03:08:44.340 and then they defend the bomb site with utility, 03:08:44.340 --> 03:08:46.740 mayor window where you fire toxic patient smoke. 03:08:46.740 --> 03:08:49.740 On that top of bomb site, if we're to go back there later, 03:08:49.740 --> 03:08:52.740 you can then, if you're expecting a bot with famous downstairs, 03:08:52.740 --> 03:08:54.740 you have a roaming person downstairs below 03:08:54.740 --> 03:08:59.140 and you're challenging them and taking away that wing condition of the bot verticality. 03:08:59.140 --> 03:09:02.340 So we gotta watch the next level of violence in that Unreal Nightmare. 03:09:02.340 --> 03:09:05.540 We're gonna fight for the map and disrupt Hatchel Torrey 03:09:05.540 --> 03:09:10.540 or if we're gonna try and play for letting them execute in that 5v5, 03:09:10.540 --> 03:09:12.540 Which did not work in the first round. 03:09:16.540 --> 03:09:22.540 Even this little detail is like if it comes down to vertical fights from the buck again in a future round 03:09:22.540 --> 03:09:26.540 I just think underline there's gonna be more prepared to take those fights, right? 03:09:26.540 --> 03:09:32.340 Like I'm just behind the eight ball the whole way through. Yeah, I don't think you can continue hammering away with the same thing 03:09:32.340 --> 03:09:36.040 But that's been the story of today like very different to playing ranked, right, Pengu 03:09:36.040 --> 03:09:39.600 You know a comp game goes for a lot longer than a ranked match 03:09:40.540 --> 03:09:43.540 Yeah, we have to be adaptable. 03:09:45.540 --> 03:09:58.540 You know, just gonna attack a bomb site once and win it, you gotta do it twice actually, so you gotta have either a bulletproof single way of attacking the bomb site, or ideally multiple ways, and you can just kind of take into the physics. 03:09:58.540 --> 03:10:04.260 A bit of aggression in the window, again stopping me from intruding and droning for free. 03:10:04.260 --> 03:10:08.980 And Angel Torey, they got a lot more map to clear, so it's going to be a bit slower here 03:10:08.980 --> 03:10:12.500 in early stages when I ensure that people stay alive, but what are you going to do? 03:10:12.500 --> 03:10:16.980 You can't demo-strike the virtual, so let's confound the glow-your-dome snare jabs. 03:10:16.980 --> 03:10:20.460 Catching these two Romans in particular, very difficult. 03:10:20.460 --> 03:10:23.740 Angel Torey for this round probably wished they had a shield like a Blackbeard or Blitz 03:10:23.740 --> 03:10:27.580 or a Monty, and he just sprinted in the building and faced all the angles because they are 03:10:27.580 --> 03:10:31.580 running out of drones, they are limited in some remaining. 03:10:36.580 --> 03:10:41.580 Finally we're getting a breach on the main walls, however that mirror window might slow things down. 03:10:41.580 --> 03:10:48.580 There's still one exothermic in pocket, I mean just to see that Chathamn hasn't actually decided to use it on that main double wall as of yet. 03:10:48.580 --> 03:10:53.580 Man, there's still so much roam game on this top floor so far from the bomb site. 03:10:53.580 --> 03:10:58.940 You're a great guy holding on there for no reason to fall back when you're under pressure. 03:10:58.940 --> 03:11:02.180 You can bait the swing for K3 and yeah, the second swing comes through on the roadside, 03:11:02.180 --> 03:11:04.300 beautifully played and there's no trade. 03:11:04.300 --> 03:11:07.700 Yeah, they're getting a breeze from the bomb site, but guys, it's a minute from the round, 03:11:07.700 --> 03:11:12.260 you have no roaming presence and you got these mirror windows, go your fire, covering everything 03:11:12.260 --> 03:11:13.260 by the side. 03:11:13.260 --> 03:11:17.220 You gotta find an opening or rather create one somewhere, but they keep losing individual 03:11:17.220 --> 03:11:18.220 battles. 03:11:18.220 --> 03:11:22.700 Big J, yes, you gotta kill, but also injure the ground. 03:11:22.700 --> 03:11:28.380 We need more verticality here from the attacking side to put the pressure on because Shaz has now retaken 03:11:29.260 --> 03:11:33.260 that vert, used an impact to open lines of sight, looking down onto the breach below. 03:11:34.220 --> 03:11:41.020 Shadow and K3 together, all the way on that top floor room, still protecting players like Shaz, 03:11:41.020 --> 03:11:48.140 watching the vert. There really is not much to do here for HLToy. There's a huge list of items they 03:11:48.140 --> 03:11:54.260 need to check off and no time to do it 20 seconds a smoke and you're gonna have 03:11:54.260 --> 03:11:57.700 to hit it go through exo instead killers tries to make that work 03:11:57.700 --> 03:12:01.620 Chetamin is gonna have to run straight through the fires and look for a kill on 03:12:01.620 --> 03:12:05.780 the bomb site while killer finds one Chetamin sadly will not be able to join 03:12:05.780 --> 03:12:11.060 him in doing so K-3 far into the holes above him and killer will go down it's 03:12:11.060 --> 03:12:16.060 It's a very open and shut case. 03:12:16.060 --> 03:12:21.140 And this is exactly why I actually wanted to see a Monty ban in the Operator ban phase, 03:12:21.140 --> 03:12:25.020 because I feel like for these rounds, both of them are the first ones. 03:12:25.020 --> 03:12:28.700 Like Monty, obviously they won the first time for the effortless because they got their 03:12:28.700 --> 03:12:33.180 picks, but Monty can just streamline all of the problems, right? 03:12:33.180 --> 03:12:39.460 Full info, roam clear, map control, heart destruction, perfect plant operator, etc. 03:12:39.460 --> 03:12:43.540 you are a little bit less lethal when you play the shield because you're going to be extended and walking around and 03:12:44.340 --> 03:12:47.460 Hegel or sorry under the nightmare is seeing this struggle through okay 03:12:47.460 --> 03:12:51.300 And that means they're probably gonna start fighting you more fighting more for catwalk 03:12:51.300 --> 03:12:54.780 I wish it fighting more for the weekends downstairs if they think that's where the 03:12:55.060 --> 03:13:00.780 Attack is going to be coming from and playing more trap operators perhaps to as the series for presses because that can also 03:13:00.780 --> 03:13:02.780 Help you in those gunfights 03:13:02.820 --> 03:13:08.660 Hedgel Torrid got they do have an advantage. This isn't a super big roaming map across the board 03:13:08.660 --> 03:13:13.180 It's kind of just that basement bomb site where the roam goes crazy across all three floors 03:13:13.340 --> 03:13:18.620 Then tertiary bomb site you're playing obviously site on the primary floor and then roaming top floor usually 03:13:18.740 --> 03:13:22.420 So it does get easier now that basement is locked for the next coming rounds 03:13:23.500 --> 03:13:25.740 And it is keep winning top floor for example 03:13:25.740 --> 03:13:30.900 I mean they're at least guaranteed two attacking rounds and then we attack tertiary similar 03:13:30.900 --> 03:13:33.760 So we could very easily see a three three half for this one 03:13:38.660 --> 03:13:50.820 It does depend, most things do, but stylistically, I think it's the most likely scenario that 03:13:50.820 --> 03:13:54.100 we just see these things sort of tell based on the different play styles in the bombs 03:13:54.100 --> 03:13:55.100 moments. 03:13:55.100 --> 03:14:01.780 Yeah, I mean, isn't it the scene if Hiotari changed much with the bark usage from below? 03:14:01.780 --> 03:14:06.060 Because I think if he just walks in, starts making the, again, he's gonna be much more 03:14:06.060 --> 03:14:10.460 challenge not just horizontally by runners like Chas but also just the players that he's trying to fight 03:14:11.180 --> 03:14:15.980 they will be shut down they'll be watching back through that first yeah you can shoot the 03:14:15.980 --> 03:14:19.340 edge up of course he exposed himself and doing so so he has to hit the gamble that there's no one 03:14:19.340 --> 03:14:26.220 watching yeah it's uh if you slow walk and lean you can shoot the edge up on most always unless 03:14:26.220 --> 03:14:30.060 it's uh positioned oh you're getting too broad from above that's perfect actually no sharpening 03:14:30.060 --> 03:14:31.900 Uh-oh, that's genius! 03:14:31.900 --> 03:14:33.100 That is really smart. 03:14:33.100 --> 03:14:34.500 Big J comes in to support. 03:14:34.500 --> 03:14:37.900 The Tuber Rao is such a cheeky way to counter that Nomad. 03:14:37.900 --> 03:14:40.900 I like the idea from Heltari there. 03:14:40.900 --> 03:14:42.860 With the Nomad to come and support the Bark, 03:14:42.860 --> 03:14:46.220 it means that Bark doesn't need an entire player to help him. 03:14:46.220 --> 03:14:48.300 But, I mean, obviously it's countered. 03:14:48.300 --> 03:14:50.260 Very well adapted by Unreal Nightmare. 03:14:52.860 --> 03:14:53.660 It doesn't generate... 03:14:53.660 --> 03:14:55.140 If you're shooting something, like, 03:14:55.140 --> 03:14:56.460 oh, I heard somebody shoot a bullet. 03:14:56.460 --> 03:14:58.900 That could be a claymore or an airchap in this case. 03:14:58.900 --> 03:15:03.700 But when he immediately put down a 2-brow freeze, I mean that's likely for the wall outside. 03:15:03.700 --> 03:15:05.700 You're gonna think about that much usually. 03:15:05.700 --> 03:15:07.100 And that seems to be inside Wington. 03:15:07.100 --> 03:15:08.300 Now to fight him a cow or reapsake. 03:15:08.300 --> 03:15:09.000 But this time it varies. 03:15:09.000 --> 03:15:09.800 You get a second kill. 03:15:09.800 --> 03:15:11.000 Ten over, it only has B. 03:15:11.000 --> 03:15:12.800 He did take down K3 though. 03:15:12.800 --> 03:15:14.800 But still, good nightmare. 03:15:14.800 --> 03:15:17.600 Significant map and player advantage. 03:15:20.000 --> 03:15:22.000 Shadow has got a great position as well. 03:15:22.800 --> 03:15:24.500 Dima will take down and keep it there. 03:15:24.500 --> 03:15:27.900 Yeah, if they haven't done the Juggilligence. 03:15:27.900 --> 03:15:33.140 Oh, the knife. The knife bait here might actually work, but I think Shadow's just gonna be patient. 03:15:33.140 --> 03:15:36.940 And I don't feel like Killis is gonna bait. Oh, no, there you go. 03:15:36.940 --> 03:15:39.860 So that shot has now revealed his position. The fire is gonna flush him out! 03:15:39.860 --> 03:15:45.700 Oh, but he still somehow sneaks in and finds a kill regardless before he's cleared out by Tenno. 03:15:45.700 --> 03:15:51.180 It's now a 2 versus 3, but he has to wait for the fire to subside, and actually it does. 03:15:51.180 --> 03:15:53.740 Winnable here for HLTari. 03:15:53.740 --> 03:15:54.740 Sorry. 03:15:54.740 --> 03:15:55.740 It's winnable. 03:15:55.740 --> 03:15:59.740 We got one 2-bar freeze and one C4, those you can kind of stall things out. 03:15:59.740 --> 03:16:02.740 Tenno on a single point of health means you can't take any gunfights, really. 03:16:02.740 --> 03:16:04.740 There is no spare reinforcements. 03:16:04.740 --> 03:16:05.740 This wall cannot be closed up. 03:16:05.740 --> 03:16:08.740 You'd have wished that if you were on real nightmare, but it's fine. 03:16:08.740 --> 03:16:09.740 Still got that numerous advantage. 03:16:09.740 --> 03:16:11.740 A laser on the wall, explosives on paper position. 03:16:11.740 --> 03:16:12.740 That could be a freeze-time. 03:16:12.740 --> 03:16:13.740 Good flash. 03:16:13.740 --> 03:16:15.740 Oh, four flashes. 03:16:15.740 --> 03:16:17.740 Flooded to the bomb site, but they need to capitalize on it. 03:16:17.740 --> 03:16:19.740 And now Shaz is unflashed. 03:16:19.740 --> 03:16:21.740 He's got a great close-range weapon for it. 03:16:21.740 --> 03:16:29.340 swings to find the second one. It's another great lock-in for Unreal Nightmare as their defensive 03:16:29.340 --> 03:16:36.140 adaptations managed to right the wrongs of that first top floor defense and they come back ever 03:16:36.140 --> 03:16:41.660 so stronger on the second attempt. And this is exactly why we speak about not doing the exact same 03:16:41.660 --> 03:16:46.940 attack again and having a different win condition. Again, it's going to be the bug going downstairs 03:16:46.940 --> 03:16:52.300 with the Nomad covering and guess what a single Tuber Alcanister freezing the air jet to enable 03:16:52.300 --> 03:16:57.420 the flank to go through it will just tear apart that attacking round because that's what they plan 03:16:57.420 --> 03:17:02.540 for they need that bug to get some vertical value and they got nothing and then they double down 03:17:02.540 --> 03:17:07.180 they assign me off the catwalk angle and they retake that position and they get a second to later 03:17:07.180 --> 03:17:12.700 on these very small moments exactly how we see Night Heaven Labs playing across all tier one 03:17:12.700 --> 03:17:17.980 another play. It's kind of like Clubhouse where the map is corner-codes so figured out that you need 03:17:17.980 --> 03:17:22.940 to win and lose rounds either in direct counterplay, an operator is stretched etc. or in those small 03:17:22.940 --> 03:17:28.540 moments. Like if you're defending cctv and clubhouse winning that garage catwalk after a gunfight and 03:17:28.540 --> 03:17:35.100 staying alive that can win the entire site. Here taking down the box below and then retaking catwalk 03:17:35.100 --> 03:17:39.660 does the exact same thing. It's two very small moments in the game but it can win or lose you the 03:17:39.660 --> 03:17:42.660 the entire time though. 03:17:42.660 --> 03:17:50.220 I have to wonder if Hal convincingly Buck won his situation in the first round with the 03:17:50.220 --> 03:17:56.440 third, finding two kills, how convincing that was, gave him a little bit too much unwarranted 03:17:56.440 --> 03:18:00.840 confidence on the second attempts, because he's thinking well I did it once, I can do 03:18:00.840 --> 03:18:05.700 it again, it worked out well, why don't I just do more or less the same thing, and 03:18:05.700 --> 03:18:09.300 They get hard counted by two players working together. 03:18:09.300 --> 03:18:10.300 Really beautiful. 03:18:10.300 --> 03:18:14.820 So this is where at the highest level you talk about what was the reason why that round 03:18:14.820 --> 03:18:15.820 was so flawless. 03:18:15.820 --> 03:18:19.780 You go, well, Bok was just massive downstairs and you go, okay, so that's why we were so 03:18:19.780 --> 03:18:20.780 strong. 03:18:20.780 --> 03:18:21.780 They might see it the same way. 03:18:21.780 --> 03:18:22.780 So they're going to try and counter Bok. 03:18:22.780 --> 03:18:23.780 How can it do that? 03:18:23.780 --> 03:18:27.540 Okay, let's try and cover Bok even more with more people, more manpower, more utility. 03:18:27.540 --> 03:18:30.380 And then the defenders go, well, actually we didn't think it was Bok. 03:18:30.380 --> 03:18:31.380 We thought it was this instead. 03:18:31.380 --> 03:18:34.380 So then they don't do that, but they attack someone somewhere else. 03:18:34.380 --> 03:18:39.620 this constant back and forth minigame. Same with the Alberta Benface, right? They baited 03:18:39.620 --> 03:18:44.940 out a Flora's drone ban. The first round after the final ban comes through, Monty. He's 03:18:44.940 --> 03:18:50.340 got a snake. Obviously, we've not seen so far that are so powerful and are being bought 03:18:50.340 --> 03:18:54.300 up because they can't get target-bending in any way. 03:18:54.300 --> 03:19:01.660 Another thing to keep in mind is you actually kind of get more value out of that third ban 03:19:01.660 --> 03:19:06.620 in a way and what stays in because obviously that's gonna stay for the rest of this game 03:19:06.620 --> 03:19:11.740 we've only played three rounds without it we might end up playing potentially five rounds on this half 03:19:12.620 --> 03:19:17.580 on this side depending if we go to overtime so you actually get more value out of that third 03:19:17.580 --> 03:19:19.580 damn than you would expect. 03:19:19.580 --> 03:19:21.580 Yeah. 03:19:21.580 --> 03:19:23.580 He might be ploying. 03:19:27.580 --> 03:19:32.580 Now, just to make surprise, this gentleman in the building is just again doing what he has to do. 03:19:32.580 --> 03:19:35.580 You might be thinking, why is he not moving further forward? 03:19:35.580 --> 03:19:41.580 By actually clearing the floor beneath him at the same pace as above to ensure that there's no C4 downstairs. 03:19:41.580 --> 03:19:46.580 So this means that if he walks further and further and further and further and then not following the southern snake downstairs, 03:19:46.580 --> 03:19:50.860 downstairs, he might just dive to a Valkyrie C4 and mute C4, and then the Monty's dead 03:19:50.860 --> 03:19:55.540 and you don't lose the round, but it certainly damages the round significantly, so they can't 03:19:55.540 --> 03:19:57.300 really overstep their boundary. 03:19:57.300 --> 03:20:00.620 That plus he's truly flank watching while they're sitting up downstairs. 03:20:00.620 --> 03:20:05.020 So again, Hitor Tori, they do a very good job of playing that kind of slow-call playstyle, 03:20:05.020 --> 03:20:10.660 and then Monty sends it into Asami, Big J goes down on Aqua side, and C4 hits it marked 03:20:10.660 --> 03:20:12.580 up, and the Monty runs to the thermite. 03:20:12.580 --> 03:20:17.580 Y'all are going down though, does give that Thermite a little bit more safety, however, 03:20:17.580 --> 03:20:21.740 Thermite gets flanked, needs to be a trade here and Shaz will go down. 03:20:21.740 --> 03:20:27.140 Good play from Hoxlust and that top floor has now been taken. 03:20:27.140 --> 03:20:30.180 Worrying about a flank, those shadows revealed. 03:20:30.180 --> 03:20:35.300 Sun strike, getting maximum usage out of that solid snake, if he hadn't used that maybe 03:20:35.300 --> 03:20:37.460 he would have gotten flanked. 03:20:37.460 --> 03:20:44.620 out forced to move and support Wag on the bomb site. 20 seconds to play though, does 03:20:44.620 --> 03:20:49.420 give an advantage over Twanreal, Knightmare, H.O.Tari, have to pivot as quickly as they 03:20:49.420 --> 03:20:53.320 possibly can. They're trying to desperately find these kills so they can open the gates 03:20:53.320 --> 03:20:58.440 for Hogs star to get into site when the defuser goes down. They still haven't finished off 03:20:58.440 --> 03:21:05.360 Wag and now Sunstrike is the last one left. 1v1 can cast by the Ella and he doesn't know 03:21:05.360 --> 03:21:08.400 Where Wag is in this room, shotty up close! 03:21:08.400 --> 03:21:13.360 And Unreal Nightmare lock in another defense making it three in a row. 03:21:16.400 --> 03:21:21.200 I guess the small things seems every single time the flank watch is good, the entry is good, 03:21:21.200 --> 03:21:26.640 the montia is good, the verticality was excellent, but they can't find the player downstairs running 03:21:26.640 --> 03:21:31.840 back and forth on the verticality. They even did a bit of damage, they saw him close by the window 03:21:31.840 --> 03:21:36.960 And then the big bait moment happens. The Ram on the road is just saying, 03:21:36.960 --> 03:21:42.000 oh he's on yellow ping, he's on this box, jump in and kill him. But the issue is the person of 03:21:42.000 --> 03:21:46.720 the county that Ram operator can't actually see or connect with the crossfire because he's hiding 03:21:46.720 --> 03:21:53.520 behind the box, leveraging the bomb site. So Lion jumps into a not a fair fight, right? You're hip 03:21:53.520 --> 03:21:59.600 fired with a DMR, he's shocked and watching the window, you die for nothing. It's those again 03:21:59.600 --> 03:22:05.680 very small things like Hazel Tori that do the right thing. It's a very very very minor small missing. 03:22:06.320 --> 03:22:12.080 It is the coordination that that sinking on the plate and clearing off all the vert angles 03:22:12.080 --> 03:22:17.760 before going for the bombsite window. Skipping one small step. Huge cost in the round. 03:22:18.480 --> 03:22:23.040 They did so many things right and they got to the finish line so they couldn't cross it. 03:22:24.160 --> 03:22:28.800 That's gonna mean bombsite rotation reset right now they'll go back to basement where they had 03:22:28.800 --> 03:22:34.080 that previous roam game with the mirror windows and the operas that got banned the way. I mean, 03:22:34.080 --> 03:22:38.400 visual does impact the roam of course, but you can still do it. You still got the mirror for the 03:22:38.400 --> 03:22:42.080 bomb side. I know Glyo isn't being played right now, but that could also be the case is that they 03:22:42.080 --> 03:22:46.480 got leashing for the window jump ins. That means that they still gotta worry about the roam there, 03:22:46.480 --> 03:22:50.640 which has been their biggest obstacle so far. And there is no shield, there is no demo, 03:22:50.640 --> 03:22:52.000 it's just that solid snake. 03:22:52.000 --> 03:23:00.320 I hadn't really thought about it but I guess you can probably see the 03:23:00.320 --> 03:23:04.720 Solid Snake gadget on the Solar so if you're close to it. 03:23:04.720 --> 03:23:09.680 I believe that would be the key. 03:23:09.680 --> 03:23:13.360 Well that's a ramcounter here just trying to keep killer at bay by shooting that 03:23:13.360 --> 03:23:22.060 I mean, the fans didn't even try to benefit from doing gas work, man. 03:23:22.060 --> 03:23:26.560 These walls are getting popped so fast every single round and every speed stings up. 03:23:26.560 --> 03:23:31.080 Solid Snake also finding two roamers already, one downstairs and one upstairs, so they can 03:23:31.080 --> 03:23:33.080 start slowly making their way through the building. 03:23:33.080 --> 03:23:34.640 But who's gonna take the gunfight? 03:23:34.640 --> 03:23:36.040 Your only hard breacher? 03:23:36.040 --> 03:23:37.040 Your only roam clearer? 03:23:37.040 --> 03:23:38.600 The Bokeh beat global gadget? 03:23:38.600 --> 03:23:40.080 Your only vertical operator? 03:23:40.080 --> 03:23:44.200 It really feels like no matter who's gonna take a gunfight on the X-Hack, if they lose 03:23:44.200 --> 03:23:48.160 the gunfight it's significant loss to the roster, they need all these gadgets later on. 03:23:48.160 --> 03:23:55.880 Yeah, I'd agree, I think the ram is so important, you're one of, if not the most important operator. 03:23:55.880 --> 03:23:59.800 We need an entry here, particularly from Sunstrike, but no he falls! 03:23:59.800 --> 03:24:04.920 Tries to take a long range gunfight and Shadow has a superior angle, even the F2 won't win 03:24:04.920 --> 03:24:05.920 that. 03:24:05.920 --> 03:24:14.920 K3 trying to peel back as the flank is being washed by Tenno and he finds one, Shaz tries to retreat back and falls. 03:24:14.920 --> 03:24:20.920 Unreal 9S still have a bit of a roam game. Shadow all the way on the top floor. Big J and K3 on the ground floor. 03:24:20.920 --> 03:24:31.920 It's only Wag on the bomb site. HLTARI, they need to be quicker at realizing maybe we have a gap that we could push on site because it's technically 4v1 on the bomb site. 03:24:31.920 --> 03:24:35.120 This is not their place, so let's see if you're right, they go for the most vertical play. 03:24:35.120 --> 03:24:40.520 That's an aggressive play, though Shadowruns are about to go towards the door to contest the person cutting off the rotations by the staircase, 03:24:40.520 --> 03:24:46.020 allowing people to fall back towards the side, and they need that, because here comes Enema's breach on that single wall. 03:24:46.020 --> 03:24:49.320 This could mean Shadowruns could walk on in and stop pressuring the side. 03:24:49.320 --> 03:24:55.020 There's only one mirror window to cover the angles, as the other mirror was on the outside wall itself. 03:24:55.020 --> 03:25:00.720 They spend the foundal typical, no more intel, no drones, and they flank very much still going on. 03:25:01.920 --> 03:25:03.920 It's going to be nigh impossible now. 03:25:04.240 --> 03:25:05.200 The HL Tarry. 03:25:05.200 --> 03:25:07.480 They'll have to go big, they'll have to be miraculous. 03:25:07.760 --> 03:25:09.600 K3 dodges some flashes. 03:25:09.920 --> 03:25:12.280 Another one goes out, Tenno the first to enter. 03:25:12.280 --> 03:25:13.400 He falls. 03:25:13.520 --> 03:25:15.280 K3 waits for the second one. 03:25:15.640 --> 03:25:17.000 And he can't find that fight. 03:25:17.000 --> 03:25:19.840 Hoxlust opens up the gates on the bomb side. 03:25:19.840 --> 03:25:24.000 Shadamn as well to find his shadow now forced into his flank. 03:25:24.000 --> 03:25:25.640 And he's the last one standing. 03:25:25.840 --> 03:25:28.600 A 1v3, he doesn't know where that plant's going. 03:25:28.600 --> 03:25:30.920 Down! Big final kill for Hoxlust! 03:25:30.920 --> 03:25:34.680 At HLTARI, still around, they had no business winning! 03:25:37.240 --> 03:25:43.800 Again, it comes down to a single gunfight. In EXO, if NOMA walks on the staircase and wins the fight, 03:25:43.800 --> 03:25:48.280 they can then get bomb site control, channel making a walk in, and the third player is actually 03:25:48.280 --> 03:25:55.320 under verticality still up above. That was two people fighting three or four, yeah, four defenders 03:25:55.320 --> 03:25:59.800 with just two attackers because two could be died right here. So, it's NOMA walking in, 03:25:59.800 --> 03:26:04.440 Shatter them on the bridge and then yeah, you have you have killer upstairs literally in storage 03:26:05.080 --> 03:26:09.320 If either of those two players downstairs don't win their gun fights, they can't go for a plan 03:26:10.200 --> 03:26:15.720 Take your tarry on cafe and also here now on item and apps when they are pushed to their very limits 03:26:16.360 --> 03:26:22.680 Where the sensible play no longer works and you have to go for broke they actually do it and quite successfully 03:26:23.320 --> 03:26:26.440 So that just goes to show there is a world where they can adopt the play style 03:26:26.440 --> 03:26:32.860 That is about taking a few more risks where it's not playing a bit more counting in the server because they can do it 03:26:32.980 --> 03:26:37.580 But it's not by choice. It's only when the force into that person by their opponent 03:26:37.660 --> 03:26:42.100 That's right. It reeks of desperation right look. Oh, I don't want to question the result 03:26:42.180 --> 03:26:48.660 But even minor details like I wonder what that round would have looked like if there was a little bit more pursuant pressure 03:26:48.820 --> 03:26:54.100 On unreal night there just simply by Chatham it breaching all of the walls right at the start of the round 03:26:54.100 --> 03:27:01.540 The Animus wall only breached with 35 seconds left. This could be a 3v, the red pink comes out, 03:27:01.540 --> 03:27:04.260 a little bit of damage from Shadow of the Hawk's last, but he survives it. 03:27:04.820 --> 03:27:10.420 But just to reiterate on that point, I really feel like with the Bandakai Band, you just gotta 03:27:10.420 --> 03:27:16.900 take advantage of the speed at which you can breach. Thermite has three exothermic charges. 03:27:16.900 --> 03:27:21.380 Start of the round, you go upstairs, you breach the IT wall to help your roamers with your 03:27:21.380 --> 03:27:23.380 So entries with the room clear. 03:27:23.380 --> 03:27:28.420 You go downstairs, you breach the double wall inside, and you breach the animus wall. 03:27:28.420 --> 03:27:30.100 And then you're a gun for hire. 03:27:30.100 --> 03:27:33.460 Then you couldn't even be an entry if you needed to be. 03:27:33.460 --> 03:27:36.420 It just gives you so much flexibility. 03:27:36.420 --> 03:27:41.260 I feel like maybe it's Cobium, but maybe like a train of thought they're having is, okay, 03:27:41.260 --> 03:27:43.340 we don't know if we want to breach the hatches. 03:27:43.340 --> 03:27:46.980 If we get the full room clear control, I get both the walls, or maybe they were raiding 03:27:46.980 --> 03:27:50.820 for that, you know, can we get the room clear cover call? 03:27:50.820 --> 03:27:54.140 At the same time, you just play a set of can opener to take in their heartbeats destruction. 03:27:54.140 --> 03:27:57.420 Because then Thermite can, as you said, always get the wall upstairs and downstairs, 03:27:57.420 --> 03:27:59.040 and then the other heartbeats gets the hatches. 03:27:59.040 --> 03:28:00.680 This is a bit of an oopsie. 03:28:00.680 --> 03:28:04.920 K3, ratting by the breeze in the blue spot, swings, gets the kill. 03:28:04.920 --> 03:28:07.840 Tenor, who has very low HP and the Zero does go down. 03:28:07.840 --> 03:28:12.660 But that is so much active, blank-watching Intel that is now lost in the Zero camps, 03:28:12.660 --> 03:28:14.160 no longer being usable. 03:28:15.200 --> 03:28:16.560 Set to Capric Town. 03:28:16.560 --> 03:28:19.260 They can still fight but can't have a Rathaus control, but what's amazing about it is that 03:28:19.260 --> 03:28:26.260 Tori is again present inside the building. Hello! No way! As if he gets away with a kill, their killer probably should have taken him down. 03:28:26.260 --> 03:28:37.260 Ah man, if you were Sunstrike, you'd be so tilted, knowing that you just died to a player that was literally touching toes with killer just on the other side of a wall. 03:28:37.260 --> 03:28:48.260 Now, 3 vs 4 for HL Tori as they stared down or could potentially be a 2-4 half on their attacking side. 03:28:48.260 --> 03:28:54.560 He's hauling a pod further, 2v4, kill alone health, hawk's low on health, hawk's does get the kill, the shas. 03:28:55.060 --> 03:29:01.360 Well, it's still down to the player, and again, this timer we keep mentioning is taking down there, it could be 45 seconds. 03:29:01.760 --> 03:29:08.560 Lost most of their pushing power, you have capital fire and a single flashbang through their name, and I'm not really playing smart, 03:29:08.560 --> 03:29:13.160 they're just playing by the bombsite, all three people square it up in close proximity, playing the trade game. 03:29:13.160 --> 03:29:21.160 Last round it was Hawks going big on that entry down below that netted HL Tori, the unlinable round. 03:29:21.160 --> 03:29:27.160 He's still alive and he's got that diffuser. He needs to have a big impact again, but him and Killer both low on HP. 03:29:27.160 --> 03:29:34.160 There's some 20 seconds to play. K3, shotgun in hand. As the smoke goes out, a flash as well. 03:29:34.160 --> 03:29:39.160 He can peek into that if he wants. Doesn't need to waste time and Hawks will go down. 03:29:39.160 --> 03:29:44.560 and killer not far behind him unreal nightmare with an unreal half it's a 03:29:44.560 --> 03:29:49.780 4-2 split on their defense Hltari in all the vibes they can get now in the 03:29:49.780 --> 03:29:54.400 halftime vibe check to come back in the second 03:31:39.160 --> 03:32:08.880 I'd like to stop just keep the music going for the whole broadcast 03:32:08.880 --> 03:32:14.880 keep it don't stop it don't stop it keep the vibes that you'll be fitting like it 03:32:14.880 --> 03:32:20.400 kicks in at the last like 45 seconds of a round right it's like it just quietly 03:32:20.400 --> 03:32:24.200 tunes up doo doo doo doo doo doo and it just edit eight picks of the round the 03:32:24.200 --> 03:32:27.920 peak moment is when it gets the loudest and it just starts with like you know 03:32:27.920 --> 03:32:34.520 like that kick drum and then slowly everything builds up and then you get 03:32:34.520 --> 03:32:38.400 the massive 1v3 and it just goes full montage moment and then we go into 03:32:38.400 --> 03:32:43.520 replays and it's just like oh and then the casters shut up and just listen to it after the kill happens right? 03:32:43.520 --> 03:32:46.400 Absolutely. That's the best part when they stop talking. 03:32:49.520 --> 03:32:58.080 I love when music builds. You know, we're in this, you know, the ace that we are, but I'm getting older, 03:32:58.080 --> 03:33:02.320 classical music goes harder and harder. It does when you get like the build up of different 03:33:02.320 --> 03:33:07.680 Instruments and like violins and cellos. I love it. I need to love it so much 03:33:08.000 --> 03:33:10.240 That's my old man casted you right there 03:33:10.800 --> 03:33:12.960 Yeah, and I'm growing up on such 03:33:13.960 --> 03:33:17.000 Music, I'm not from the 600s. I would I care? 03:33:18.000 --> 03:33:23.160 I have a fun bit of lawfully. I actually when I was a kid I learned how to play violin. Oh 03:33:24.720 --> 03:33:27.760 Yeah, I'm terrible. I could no 03:33:27.760 --> 03:33:42.760 No, no, no, my parents, I was like, I want to learn an instrument, my parents are like violin and I was like, I learned the violin for a few years, but I learned like the Irish jig style violin, like that, not like classical violin. 03:33:42.760 --> 03:33:43.760 Like faster playing, yeah. 03:33:43.760 --> 03:33:52.760 Yeah, like, yeah, it was like folk music type thing, but yeah, look, I kind of hated it and I quit and then I switched to easy instruments. 03:33:52.760 --> 03:34:00.000 I wanted to learn piano and or violin growing up, but I was too shy to perform in front of others and 03:34:00.840 --> 03:34:02.020 We got in school 03:34:02.020 --> 03:34:05.760 That's why you would learn instrument at least right grew up because you wouldn't buy one yourself because it's been support 03:34:05.760 --> 03:34:11.260 Well, the lessons so I just looked at it and been like oh, I wish I had the balls to play the piano right now 03:34:11.260 --> 03:34:13.260 But I'm I don't so I never tried 03:34:14.360 --> 03:34:17.120 So at least you tried and figure out there wasn't for you. Let's go 03:34:18.600 --> 03:34:20.600 Next time you 03:34:22.760 --> 03:34:24.760 You're gonna get yourself a piano my friends 03:34:26.000 --> 03:34:29.780 I'm gonna get a hold of a dad rock band the garage 03:34:30.440 --> 03:34:34.720 You can fly up from and down under get on it. You haven't a guitar 03:34:36.040 --> 03:34:41.240 Absolutely, we can vibe it out. We saw a bit of a vibe out there in the bridge as well 03:34:41.240 --> 03:34:46.360 So I'm trying to kite trick by throwing one type on one side and if you don't throw you down again 03:34:46.440 --> 03:34:49.440 But they're playing bachelor the number one kite counter 03:34:52.760 --> 03:35:00.460 Savable save on that nade is gonna. No. He's gone. He's gone rip the homey rather was seven oh seven 03:35:01.100 --> 03:35:06.300 Yeah, that's rough killer. However, it's worth it because some strikers managed to tap 03:35:06.740 --> 03:35:10.300 Chas and put black bit for a mute. That's worth it every day of the week 03:35:10.740 --> 03:35:12.160 Yeah, they'll take it 03:35:12.160 --> 03:35:15.560 Don't just reinforce to be the catwalk wall. I heard behind them 03:35:15.560 --> 03:35:19.660 So they have closed off one of the flank potentials. I like this when you lose a defender early 03:35:19.660 --> 03:35:23.000 You can reinforce our catwalk all the new data on connector 03:35:23.500 --> 03:35:27.540 And then therefore get one less angle to worry about and establish more crossfires 03:35:27.740 --> 03:35:33.480 The downside is if I'm a nightmare recognized that they did it they can take catwalk absolutely for free now 03:35:33.860 --> 03:35:37.320 Thermite open the wall and then we're back to have them having more 03:35:37.980 --> 03:35:43.440 So that would be the correct counter-response. I would say if I'm a nightmare. It's not an imp pocket 03:35:43.440 --> 03:35:45.440 So that extra femur just in thermite 03:35:45.440 --> 03:35:52.440 It could get tricked by Sunstrike if he's really quick with the kite folder because there's only one EMP not two left remaining. 03:35:52.440 --> 03:35:57.440 Oh, they popped this one instead. Okay, so they've got to go fill up land. This shows their hand. 03:35:57.440 --> 03:36:03.440 Now they can count the thermal charges. That is the last one they have to commit to IC breach with connector breach. 03:36:03.440 --> 03:36:08.440 And the big priority here is taking down Hawks last grade. Work with the bailiff up in close range. They go deep now. 03:36:08.440 --> 03:36:12.440 Big C, 4-0 from Sunstrike. Wag is down and out of it. 03:36:12.440 --> 03:36:18.040 out of it. Sunstrike trying to hold down the fort, allowing time for Chathaming to rotate back, but he's not needed. 03:36:18.040 --> 03:36:26.440 Big plays from Sunstrike. He strikes them down one by one. And HL Tari, have a fire beneath them again. 03:36:26.440 --> 03:36:33.740 So good. Again, the different win conditions. The warding down in the shield, that is a huge anchor on the bomb side. 03:36:33.740 --> 03:36:39.240 And yes, he did get taken down by the Grimm just running in, second their bailiff pistol and won the gunfight. 03:36:39.240 --> 03:36:41.920 but then they have layers to this defense, right? 03:36:41.920 --> 03:36:44.160 They got a vertical C4 for plant denial, 03:36:44.160 --> 03:36:46.800 and they have Sunstrike, who has a spare C4. 03:36:46.800 --> 03:36:49.240 I don't know, it was Sunstrike C4 from the bombsite 03:36:49.240 --> 03:36:51.480 with the play pillow flanking, actually, no mind. 03:36:51.480 --> 03:36:53.240 So Sunstrike was the one man outing. 03:36:53.240 --> 03:36:54.760 He was the wincon. 03:36:54.760 --> 03:36:56.240 I thought it was one clear C4, 03:36:56.240 --> 03:36:58.240 and Sunstrike taken both the gunfights, 03:36:58.240 --> 03:37:00.160 but he literally did everything himself 03:37:00.160 --> 03:37:02.080 with the Fenrir flanking. 03:37:02.080 --> 03:37:04.960 And Sunstrike has been probably the most vital player 03:37:04.960 --> 03:37:07.360 for Hazel Tori, except when Tenno plays Monty 03:37:07.360 --> 03:37:08.720 on the shields on Caffe. 03:37:08.720 --> 03:37:17.420 He was shooting Shunke on Shalei, they didn't lose the round when he was clutching up massively, but he was having 3-4 kills and locking things down. 03:37:17.920 --> 03:37:24.320 Sfx has been mind-boggling me so far in this game, that's what they're unsure from the side of Heijou Tari, he's been instrumental in so many round victories. 03:37:24.320 --> 03:37:26.820 There's a 4k that round as well. 03:37:27.420 --> 03:37:28.520 Big plays. 03:37:29.220 --> 03:37:31.820 Big plays on the bomb site from the Kaid. 03:37:32.620 --> 03:37:38.220 Now, Unreal9 there have a couple more chances though on the attacking side. 03:37:38.720 --> 03:37:45.060 It's just the first attempts, but of course they'll have to wait a few rounds to get another crack at the top floor 03:37:45.060 --> 03:37:47.560 You know you're down to the basement and the first question 03:37:47.920 --> 03:37:51.560 Whenever you have a basement defenses, do we roam or do we turtle? 03:37:51.560 --> 03:37:54.840 And on this map you're always gonna have some form of a roam 03:37:55.460 --> 03:38:02.020 Though is a little bit different to what we saw from Unreal Nightmare on their defense for example Tenno on the school bus very unusual pick 03:38:02.020 --> 03:38:05.620 A huge fan. 03:38:05.620 --> 03:38:10.020 It's that classic, I can over commit, I can over stay and I will still TP out and waste 03:38:10.020 --> 03:38:13.420 as much time as possible, where these other roaming operators at the solace like the 03:38:13.420 --> 03:38:18.500 mossy, need to fall back before those staircase get caught off guard from the exterior, otherwise 03:38:18.500 --> 03:38:20.940 you gotta take an uncomfortable gunfight. 03:38:20.940 --> 03:38:25.020 Speaking of the solace, Shadowman goes down to the bug of Big J, they got flightbed injury 03:38:25.020 --> 03:38:26.520 into IT. 03:38:26.520 --> 03:38:30.340 So very quickly when one Roma dies, Ducati go and goes out, it might just be time to 03:38:30.340 --> 03:38:33.540 into the entire room right now because you do not want to stick around for this one. 03:38:35.860 --> 03:38:41.620 Yeah, it's scary. Scopus also has to deal with that massive watermark on their screen whenever 03:38:41.620 --> 03:38:45.220 the dokeby call comes out. It's not fun. It does really obscure the vision a lot. 03:38:45.860 --> 03:38:49.140 Yeah, actually, he's tempted to continue playing. Of course, he can always teleport back to site, 03:38:49.140 --> 03:38:54.660 so he can go aggressively to a kitchen position somewhere where he might not have a pathway back 03:38:54.660 --> 03:38:59.860 to site. And now that it's the smoke of Hawks that's getting targeted, it does give Tenor a 03:38:59.860 --> 03:39:05.460 little bit more flexibility to keep playing. He's now gone all the way back upstairs up through the 03:39:05.460 --> 03:39:10.420 lobby stairs, telling to connect us. So he has a big flank up here. He's directly above a lot of 03:39:10.420 --> 03:39:14.260 these attackers and he might be able to turn the tide of this round single-handedly. 03:39:14.980 --> 03:39:19.140 Yeah, and essentially thanks to Hog last right now just buying time, not falling fully back on 03:39:19.140 --> 03:39:23.540 that cargo staircase. That's giving Tenor an opportunity to go for that flank timing. Had 03:39:23.540 --> 03:39:28.100 smoke just fallen back, all of a sudden this flank has to be a sprint interaction to get heard 03:39:28.100 --> 03:39:29.700 or simply just wait even longer. 03:39:29.700 --> 03:39:31.700 So he's in a good position in the background. 03:39:31.700 --> 03:39:32.980 Smoke has not been forced back. 03:39:32.980 --> 03:39:34.580 There's gonna be a hogs with no toxic base 03:39:34.580 --> 03:39:36.340 and a half health on the smoke. 03:39:36.340 --> 03:39:37.780 It's kind of coming down now to the canal, 03:39:37.780 --> 03:39:39.860 thanking together from top four, 03:39:39.860 --> 03:39:40.660 all the way to base them. 03:39:40.660 --> 03:39:41.940 Thanks, Killzul the Hatch. 03:39:41.940 --> 03:39:44.580 Wow, and Killzul uses C4 to make a rotate. 03:39:44.580 --> 03:39:46.020 He's down one as well. 03:39:46.020 --> 03:39:46.900 Beta by the teammate. 03:39:46.900 --> 03:39:47.940 Now it's up to Unreal. 03:39:47.940 --> 03:39:49.380 Nightmare to get in the bomb site, 03:39:49.380 --> 03:39:50.180 try and force the issue. 03:39:50.180 --> 03:39:52.660 No wonder there are roamers up above. 03:39:52.660 --> 03:39:53.940 But strike on the bomb site, 03:39:53.940 --> 03:39:55.460 keeps him obeyed for a brief moment. 03:39:55.460 --> 03:40:01.600 Shares goes big with a double on the blackbeard time to deny the plan now the killer or to go bust 03:40:01.740 --> 03:40:06.380 He's got a secondary shotgun so we can find the vert this killing information on the bomb site as well 03:40:06.380 --> 03:40:10.420 Oh, the blackbeard has the diffuser which means he can try to turn a plan 03:40:10.420 --> 03:40:13.900 But K3 will need to cover and you're right now the camera is gone 03:40:13.900 --> 03:40:20.740 He's gonna have to use his audio to try and find this kill through the vert or make a big risk and try and rotate down below 03:40:20.740 --> 03:40:25.740 below. But here at the tank it's quite hard for him to find an angle. He looks to rotate, 03:40:25.740 --> 03:40:31.660 doesn't have a lot of bullets in the magazine, and if he drops now he is surely vulnerable. 03:40:31.660 --> 03:40:34.980 Spots out the Blackbeard for a brief moment. How on earth do you win the fight against 03:40:34.980 --> 03:40:40.460 the Blackbeard? He throws rain, put a damage not enough done yet, and a big play from Shaz. 03:40:40.460 --> 03:40:46.660 Three kills with the Blackbeard, and the plant down. Unreal nightmare. Rocketing up again, 03:40:46.660 --> 03:40:50.180 closer and closer to finishing this game. 03:40:50.180 --> 03:40:55.940 Again Hazel Tori playing it so well and getting so far in the round. 03:40:55.940 --> 03:40:59.780 I mean they get the good flying timing, they see though the verticality, 03:40:59.780 --> 03:41:02.340 they find the planter right under the right. 03:41:02.340 --> 03:41:05.700 Bump almost goes down but they find the angle vertically. 03:41:05.700 --> 03:41:08.900 But then it's just Jax and the Blackbeard finding one, finding two, 03:41:08.900 --> 03:41:12.740 five never, destroying the boot of a camera so Stroud the bombs and its 03:41:12.740 --> 03:41:16.260 darkness again and then go for a plant in an unknown location. 03:41:16.260 --> 03:41:26.020 It's one player just going huge for Unreal Nightmare, when Halo Tori actually playing the better team game, with so many good win conditions, good timings. 03:41:27.380 --> 03:41:34.100 Such a shame that you lose that round, but it goes to show, clock's ability will always win in the end, and that was jazz, dude. 03:41:34.100 --> 03:41:35.860 What a blanket round. 03:41:35.860 --> 03:41:39.220 One of the better rounds we've seen so far, in my opinion, I really love that. 03:41:39.220 --> 03:41:41.620 First shout out, look at the top left of the screen right now. 03:41:41.620 --> 03:41:46.500 see we've got this beautiful little update thanks to our amazing production 03:41:46.500 --> 03:41:51.340 team where it shows you every single kill that happened in the round at every 03:41:51.340 --> 03:41:57.300 plant every activity that happened in the rounds it's like a little kind of 03:41:57.300 --> 03:42:02.220 kind of like a kill fee basically that kind of runs through and it'll happen 03:42:02.220 --> 03:42:06.460 after every round ends you'll be able to see that the top left hand of the screen 03:42:06.460 --> 03:42:10.820 it's so cool you can see like most plants chance we get a little bit of 03:42:10.820 --> 03:42:17.080 Inside into what happened we'll see the clutches we'll see the stats and you get to see a little replay of the kill feed 03:42:18.280 --> 03:42:23.000 Only happens on the best of rounds, but it's just a cool little thing that I've noticed a few times 03:42:26.520 --> 03:42:29.200 I already saw it but when it was showing the 03:42:29.640 --> 03:42:37.240 Kill feed to the speed the beginning of the stats there. It was like 041 a kill 038 a kill 035 03:42:37.240 --> 03:42:41.680 The killer's been so close in like five seconds of four three or four kills happened that previous round. Oh 03:42:42.760 --> 03:42:44.760 Wow, here's an aggressive play from tenno 03:42:45.560 --> 03:42:51.220 He attempted bait, but funnily enough the black beard going inside the building detonated the thorn trap 03:42:51.220 --> 03:42:54.280 Which then killed tenno. I don't think he's savable here 03:42:54.280 --> 03:42:59.780 So funnily enough the black beard might not know it, but he actually has just traded himself back 03:42:59.780 --> 03:43:02.960 And it's also better than another kill for wag 03:43:02.960 --> 03:43:09.540 It's funny how I'm real nightmare have managed to turn losing the blackbeard on his head and into a massive advantage 03:43:09.800 --> 03:43:12.480 Killer in a one before they know exactly where he is my shot though 03:43:12.760 --> 03:43:16.640 That's a diffuser cold on the ground as well. This is clutchable 03:43:18.080 --> 03:43:24.560 It is possible no see photo has information in storage below and the Gary steve will chemist our life in watch from ten 03:43:24.560 --> 03:43:31.500 Oh, so they have information of the half of top floor, but why by IT Beach that they do not know if period is dear not 03:43:32.960 --> 03:43:38.480 I like this little angle though, feed holes, he wants to take the 1v1, but K3 finds the 03:43:38.480 --> 03:43:45.520 better of him, unreal nightmare, step by step, on their attack, they carve the path onto matchpoint. 03:43:45.520 --> 03:43:48.320 I mean, what a round. 03:43:48.320 --> 03:43:53.560 Again, like you said, you take down the Blackbeard successfully as Asami, you trade Injure for 03:43:53.560 --> 03:43:58.720 Kill again, super worth it, and then everyone dies around the play. 03:43:58.720 --> 03:44:04.360 No Metswing St. Garrad gets a kill, confirms the Assami, kills happens offscreen, and it 03:44:04.360 --> 03:44:10.920 went from a 4v4 to a 4v1 within a couple of seconds, such an explosive one. 03:44:10.920 --> 03:44:14.160 And I really want to praise Nezotori as the losing team right now. 03:44:14.160 --> 03:44:20.120 They are trying to match Undo Nightmare in the aggression and in the pro-activity or 03:44:20.120 --> 03:44:21.880 pro-active playstyle. 03:44:21.880 --> 03:44:24.320 And then it seems that we haven't seen from them on Kafei. 03:44:24.320 --> 03:44:29.160 We didn't see it much on Shalei, and we didn't see it at all last week at Celebate. 03:44:29.160 --> 03:44:34.120 This is definitely going to be adjustments and them learning from their past mistakes, 03:44:34.120 --> 03:44:39.080 and while they are losing this round, they are trying to do the right thing. 03:44:39.080 --> 03:44:43.600 So I think there's a big praise of Haitian Tori showing significant improvement from 03:44:43.600 --> 03:44:46.600 last week to this one. 03:44:46.600 --> 03:44:57.200 three match points I'm getting flashbacks paying you yeah flashbacks to 03:44:57.200 --> 03:45:01.400 shell a we found ourselves in this exact same position gotta say how shall 03:45:01.400 --> 03:45:06.040 tarry they have impressed me continue to impress me more and more as the series 03:45:06.040 --> 03:45:11.020 progresses cafe especially the end of cafe was very good they staved off two 03:45:11.020 --> 03:45:15.080 match points and they saved up one match point on shell a now they're gonna have 03:45:15.080 --> 03:45:23.320 to do three. To stay in the tournament otherwise it's goodbye. Good night and time to pack it up 03:45:23.320 --> 03:45:27.480 and figure out what to do. You'll have quite a bit of a break actually Pengo. This is the thing 03:45:27.480 --> 03:45:34.280 about the format here in APL is we start eliminating teams and qualifying teams to the major much earlier 03:45:34.280 --> 03:45:38.920 than the other regions because we only have the playoffs. We have no group stage. The HL Torrey 03:45:38.920 --> 03:45:43.560 that means quite a long break. I don't know like when's the next time they'll have a chance to play. 03:45:43.560 --> 03:45:47.560 I think June is the last one. Stage one starts, yeah. 03:45:48.560 --> 03:45:53.560 It's a very big break. Wow, this is one way to juggle the Kaiju Claws. 03:45:55.560 --> 03:46:00.560 It's really effective against the EMPs, especially if you're not using Thatcher, 03:46:00.560 --> 03:46:04.560 because you're only going to see one wall being tricked, and then you're going to EMP the right-hand side, 03:46:04.560 --> 03:46:07.560 but then the second layer of the left-hand side gets electrified. 03:46:07.560 --> 03:46:10.560 But then you can actually pick them up again, you can keep applying it, 03:46:10.560 --> 03:46:14.200 EMP a gadget if you pick it up put it down it gets on EMP 03:46:14.520 --> 03:46:19.580 Sometimes like Haskell off the ankle though probably in peace fan the way they need to walk those and open up successfully 03:46:20.520 --> 03:46:25.600 Honorifically had he actually stuck around and kept tricking wall like he was he probably would have stopped to fill my charge 03:46:26.480 --> 03:46:30.200 Obviously, he doesn't know that doesn't want to restyne to an IQ below which there was so 03:46:30.960 --> 03:46:32.960 You make the right play for sure 03:46:32.960 --> 03:46:44.960 Still has one left in pocket. Interestingly he didn't decide to rotate it over. There was no EMPs left so that would have burnt quite a bit of time. Perhaps he can use it on the bomb site to prevent an execute. 03:46:44.960 --> 03:46:45.960 Trinal walls. 03:46:45.960 --> 03:46:49.400 The moment I gotta worry about Shaz, he's stuck in deep. 03:46:49.400 --> 03:46:53.740 Interesting that there, instead of feint holes here, it's actually like a large breach, cratchable 03:46:53.740 --> 03:46:59.140 breach, mid C4, gets shot, Shaz though, flank from behind. 03:46:59.140 --> 03:47:01.360 Brief moment there, Chathamn had an opening. 03:47:01.360 --> 03:47:07.920 This is very hard for Shaz to get up nice, close and personal because of this crossfire. 03:47:07.920 --> 03:47:08.920 Very awkward positioning. 03:47:08.920 --> 03:47:12.600 They find Tenno on the Asami, they find the Kaeyi of Sunstrike, all of a sudden the Bumper 03:47:12.600 --> 03:47:17.240 wide open to taking off the Blitz. Downstairs, he finds a gun, draws. That's a freebie. 03:47:18.760 --> 03:47:22.840 There's a big chance now for Unreal Nightmare to put this game to bed. 03:47:23.400 --> 03:47:28.440 The Blitz in the bombsite, killer, is forced back deeper and deeper. Wack, forcing that plant. 03:47:28.440 --> 03:47:36.440 Down the crossfire is perfect. Hawks last. The last one alive in a 1v5. Hiding behind the shield, 03:47:36.440 --> 03:47:41.320 tail between his legs. The Blitz goes down, the second one as well. But he's still taking damage 03:47:41.320 --> 03:47:47.400 from below the player underneath him shadow hiding in the shadows continues to put the pressure 03:47:47.400 --> 03:47:53.640 off from the vert another one goes down into the 1v2 hold the phone because this just got winnable 03:47:54.520 --> 03:48:00.360 wag deep in the bomb site he's already planted big jay inside a service as well both of them 03:48:00.360 --> 03:48:08.840 together and they came up to finish off the series unreal nightmare will survive another 03:48:08.840 --> 03:48:13.480 match in this lower bracket and HL Tori will say goodnight! 03:48:38.840 --> 03:48:46.760 They did the perfect thing of applying pressure in three different areas out of the four and it's why they needed themselves such good results 03:48:47.260 --> 03:48:51.580 Big win for unreal nightmare, especially after losing that first map 03:48:51.580 --> 03:48:55.100 Let's not forget they look really solid in the first half of cafe 03:48:55.220 --> 03:49:00.540 They really controlled the game and they also had the first match point six five on cafe 03:49:00.540 --> 03:49:06.700 They had another match point at seven seven couldn't close either of those out a series that very much could have been a two nothing 03:49:06.700 --> 03:49:13.260 in favour of Unreal Nightmare, but they really had to work for it. A big game for them, of course, 03:49:13.260 --> 03:49:18.540 a big redemption. It's their first Grim here in the APL as well, but they're finally on the 03:49:18.540 --> 03:49:22.620 board. They've survived to not necessarily fight another day because they will actually have to 03:49:22.620 --> 03:49:29.260 fight another match later today in a couple of hours. So, yeah, look, a big win for them. Sadly, 03:49:29.260 --> 03:49:34.060 though, for HL Tari, despite seeing some beautiful moments from them, we do have to bid them farewell 03:49:34.060 --> 03:49:36.060 for the rest of the tournament. 03:49:36.060 --> 03:49:40.060 Yeah, you mentioned how much China is going to be now for Hedgehog Tour because it's 03:49:40.060 --> 03:49:43.740 supposed to be the next time they play a Stage 1 in about June give or take. 03:49:43.740 --> 03:49:47.460 Maybe this is actually a good thing for them in particular because they have so many fundamentals 03:49:47.460 --> 03:49:50.900 to work upon, you know, and they did such big significant improvement from week one 03:49:50.900 --> 03:49:52.060 to week two. 03:49:52.060 --> 03:49:55.460 They can get even more improvement if they put a bit of all time, but it does mean let 03:49:55.460 --> 03:49:58.060 North Hitchcock matches into scrims, of course. 03:49:58.060 --> 03:50:02.340 But of course for the winners, we have a chance to speak with one of the support staff from 03:50:02.340 --> 03:50:09.340 We've got Slim on the line. Welcome Slim and congratulations on such a big win for you and the team. 03:50:09.340 --> 03:50:15.340 This is my first time interviewing you, so first of all, welcome to the APL. How are you feeling? 03:50:15.340 --> 03:50:22.340 Thank you, thank you. It's euphoric to say the least. We only got three weeks to really practice with the guys, 03:50:22.340 --> 03:50:30.340 but to finally see something actually materialize in front of me and actually pay off, it feels great. 03:50:30.340 --> 03:50:36.340 Yeah, I want to just jump back in again if I can, can't you, sorry. 03:50:36.340 --> 03:50:39.820 What was it like playing from the Challenger series into this, like, what was your path 03:50:39.820 --> 03:50:42.820 to join the team and your understanding of the team's background? 03:50:42.820 --> 03:50:47.060 Maybe you could just give us a little bit of a bio slash blur, because of course, this 03:50:47.060 --> 03:50:51.260 is the first time that the team has been in the spotlight for an interview in the post-match. 03:50:51.260 --> 03:50:56.780 Yeah, I actually wasn't with the team during Challenger series. 03:50:56.780 --> 03:51:04.260 I got brought in probably three weeks ago now, three and a half weeks ago. 03:51:04.260 --> 03:51:09.420 But from my understanding, the team was kind of brought together relatively last second 03:51:09.420 --> 03:51:10.700 right before Challenger Series. 03:51:10.700 --> 03:51:13.740 I know Jackie was a part of this roster. 03:51:13.740 --> 03:51:18.060 Momo was a couple months ago, but things kind of fell apart and they were able to get a 03:51:18.060 --> 03:51:21.460 roster put together just in time. 03:51:21.460 --> 03:51:22.460 Awesome. 03:51:22.460 --> 03:51:28.700 Awesome. Obviously, it sucks right now, it's difficult to make work and you don't really exactly have all the right tools to work, 03:51:28.700 --> 03:51:30.700 so you gotta pick and choose what's the most important. 03:51:31.580 --> 03:51:38.380 Expectations going into today's match. Obviously, Hazel Torre, they're playing as Elevate. They got destroyed to put it simply. 03:51:38.460 --> 03:51:45.820 If you guys go into this thinking, this is gonna be a freebie, or it's gonna be, we're gonna try very hardest because when you have two games in a day, 03:51:46.460 --> 03:51:50.300 are you gonna focus a lot more on the first one to make sure you get that second match up? 03:51:50.300 --> 03:51:57.300 What were you thinking, HL Tory won't matter a whole lot, we'll prep for the next match. 03:51:57.300 --> 03:52:03.180 We certainly saw HL Tory as one of the more beatable opponents, but something I preached 03:52:03.180 --> 03:52:07.220 to the players is disregarding all narratives. 03:52:07.220 --> 03:52:10.900 So not going into any game thinking we're going to win or we're going to lose because 03:52:10.900 --> 03:52:15.020 that's going to sway your mental one way or the other depending on the way that the rounds 03:52:15.020 --> 03:52:16.020 are going. 03:52:16.020 --> 03:52:21.660 I could explain that further, but we certainly did not expect to play cafe. That's for one 03:52:25.420 --> 03:52:30.900 Literally at the top they will ban cafe and they did not be a cafe. They picked cafe 03:52:31.140 --> 03:52:36.860 So we got going off there, but um, no they actually they played much better than I would have anticipated 03:52:37.780 --> 03:52:39.780 Yeah, fair play to them. They played great 03:52:40.580 --> 03:52:42.580 And yeah, we 03:52:42.580 --> 03:52:54.580 We're happy to finally get in the WIM column and against the team like HLTory who was a team that we got to see in Challenger series, it's a very familiar foe. 03:52:54.580 --> 03:53:03.580 Yeah, of course. Your next opponent is a very familiar foe for all APL fans and APL teams. Sol's heart is your next game later today. 03:53:03.580 --> 03:53:06.580 Go rest up and good luck in your upcoming match. 03:53:06.580 --> 03:53:10.580 Thank you very much guys, appreciate it. 03:53:10.580 --> 03:53:17.380 Thank you, Slim. Yeah, wow, great to have a chance to talk to a new face to the APL. 03:53:17.380 --> 03:53:17.880 Yeah. 03:53:17.880 --> 03:53:20.580 Slim dialing in from the United States, I believe. 03:53:20.580 --> 03:53:25.880 Yeah, well, that's what he's nationality on the competitor is US, but then I realize, 03:53:25.880 --> 03:53:28.380 you know, people from the US can't live in foreign countries. 03:53:28.380 --> 03:53:29.380 He could be dialing in from anywhere. 03:53:29.380 --> 03:53:31.380 We don't have no idea where he's dialing in from. 03:53:31.380 --> 03:53:33.580 But yes, a big win for Unreal. 03:53:33.580 --> 03:53:36.980 Now, finally, they got a stroke in their win column. 03:53:36.980 --> 03:53:40.740 HL Tori, we say goodbye too. Before we go to a break, thank you. 03:53:40.740 --> 03:53:44.340 Expectations for Elevate versus Team Orchid in the upper bracket. Up next? 03:53:44.900 --> 03:53:50.100 Oh dude, I could see some chaos right now. So I'm very hot here in Elevate, okay? 03:53:50.100 --> 03:53:52.660 Their playstyle, Jogor, the whole Shenanigans here. 03:53:54.260 --> 03:53:59.140 If Elevate bring the same performance against HL Tori, it is going to be ridiculous. 03:53:59.140 --> 03:54:01.620 And I'm curious if that's going to be a good thing for them or not, 03:54:01.620 --> 03:54:06.260 because it's set in the interview last week. They can play fast, they can play slow, 03:54:06.260 --> 03:54:10.720 They adapted to their opponent, so I'm calling cap. I don't know if the camp plays well until they show me 03:54:11.140 --> 03:54:14.900 We know that way, but is the best team in the region, but who's gonna meet them in the upper bracket final? 03:54:14.900 --> 03:54:19.400 We're gonna find out after this break. It's elevate versus team orchid coming up next 03:55:36.260 --> 03:55:41.260 So I decided not to study anymore because I still want to focus on studying hard. 03:55:41.260 --> 03:55:47.260 So I decided not to study anymore and focus on studying hard until the end of the semester. 03:55:47.260 --> 03:55:52.260 I have a feeling that I don't have much pressure from my family. 03:55:52.260 --> 03:55:56.260 My family seems to understand me and let me do more. 03:55:56.260 --> 03:56:06.260 In Challenger League, the tournament that will be opened for the players of Rainbow Six Seed, 03:56:06.260 --> 03:56:10.260 the players can open for the game and start playing. 03:56:10.260 --> 03:56:15.260 It will be a team that has a lot of players to play in the tournament. 03:56:15.260 --> 03:56:21.260 We have a lot of players to play in the tournament, so we have a lot of players to play in Challenger League. 03:56:51.260 --> 03:56:55.580 I was very excited at the first competition. 03:56:55.580 --> 03:56:58.580 I learned a lot from the competition. 03:56:58.580 --> 03:57:02.980 I feel very good as a team that is the best in South-East Asia. 03:57:02.980 --> 03:57:08.060 I can't say that I'm the best, I feel like no one is going to take it. 03:57:08.060 --> 03:57:09.860 I feel like I'm the best. 03:57:09.860 --> 03:57:11.060 But what should I say? 03:57:11.060 --> 03:57:14.780 I have to say that during that time, 03:57:14.780 --> 03:57:18.860 both the tournament and other things haven't grown much. 04:04:48.860 --> 04:04:50.860 I 04:05:48.860 --> 04:06:07.860 to see who the winners are. We don't just have a low bracket. We got an upper bracket too. We're the best in the region of fighting for those two spots at the major. The thing that's unique about this sub region of APL, thank you, is not just that, of course, we have two teams, but we have one team that goes straight through and wins from the upper bracket. 04:06:07.860 --> 04:06:13.940 you win that up a bracket final and you're guaranteed to make it through to the major we all know we all expect 04:06:14.260 --> 04:06:20.660 That the mountain to climb will be submitted first by Waybo gaming the best team out of not just Asia 04:06:20.660 --> 04:06:25.820 But all of the APL who is gonna fight for that second place that remains to be seen 04:06:25.820 --> 04:06:34.740 We've already seen souls heart and daystar knocked down into that lower bracket team orchard and elevate now fight for a chance to 04:06:34.740 --> 04:06:38.760 battle with Weibo in the upper bracket final. Let's talk about Weibo first, sorry, let's 04:06:38.760 --> 04:06:45.480 talk about Elevate first. Of course, formally, Pengu, these guys had a Brazilian Rosso, this 04:06:45.480 --> 04:06:48.980 organization has been in the region for a very long time. They've had Asian Rosso's, 04:06:48.980 --> 04:06:52.380 they've had Brazilian Rosso's, they had Oceanic Rosso's, they've had American Rosso's in 04:06:52.380 --> 04:06:58.300 the time. Now they are back to having a full Asian squad from players which, funnily enough, 04:06:58.300 --> 04:07:03.300 are actually quite familiar to people who have been in the APAC region for quite some 04:07:03.300 --> 04:07:10.900 time. And in their first game, they decimated HL, pardon me, HL Tari. Yeah, they did so even with a 04:07:10.900 --> 04:07:15.300 standard right in Janice, who's not supposed to be like primary player, just sub-I believe, so 04:07:15.300 --> 04:07:19.380 they had a phenomenal performance individually. Um, Janice himself actually had a pretty big moment 04:07:19.380 --> 04:07:24.260 of concert himself. Joe Gore, my personal goat, really fun player to watch to go out for a basic 04:07:24.260 --> 04:07:27.540 game. They're definitely, I'm always going to hype this guy up. He also delivered. I think 04:07:27.540 --> 04:07:32.020 overall, it was just a fun series, of course. The only thing that's a bit of a hardware is that it 04:07:32.020 --> 04:07:38.180 It was HL Torrey's debut in T1 competition, and they faced Elevate who was dismantling them. 04:07:38.180 --> 04:07:42.420 So it was a fun match for half the fans, for the other half it was bloodbath. 04:07:42.420 --> 04:07:49.780 Yeah, that it was, but of course this Elevate roster, like while we haven't fully tested them 04:07:49.780 --> 04:07:56.180 and understood where they sit, their first game is very positive sides, and they have a lot of 04:07:56.180 --> 04:08:00.900 very talented players like Jericho as you said, but of course their opposition team, Orchard, 04:08:00.900 --> 04:08:09.200 The former Fury roster, once upon a time, for a very long time, they represented Fury, and they went to the Atlanta Major. 04:08:09.200 --> 04:08:13.860 They went to Six Invitations, they've entered so many international events with the core of like, 04:08:13.860 --> 04:08:20.900 Kolas, Critchey, and BGman, back in the day with players like I9 on the team, back in the day with players like Dark on the team. 04:08:20.900 --> 04:08:27.100 Now they've got peeps and XRLotic, and they for the first time in forever have left their old organization. 04:08:27.100 --> 04:08:32.860 now they've been picked up by team Orcid and if they're pretty solid so far they had a very good 04:08:32.860 --> 04:08:40.700 2-0 win in their first match against Unreal Nightmare and yeah I feel like we're despite 04:08:40.700 --> 04:08:44.540 seeing these guys fight through the Challenger series we still regard them as one of the best 04:08:44.540 --> 04:08:49.580 teams in this region. Yeah the thing about Team Orcid in their first game against Unreal Nightmare 04:08:49.580 --> 04:08:54.300 is that they've paid two attack of favorite maps that in Bank and Shalei and they got four 04:08:54.300 --> 04:08:58.380 attacker violence essentially on both of them so they just kind of met the 04:08:58.380 --> 04:09:02.700 father they had to meet but I do think Team Orchid's aggressive playstyle 04:09:02.700 --> 04:09:06.540 going up against Elevate who's very similar it can really make these rounds 04:09:06.540 --> 04:09:11.660 incredibly quick pace instead of the outcome and I want to cast the back to 04:09:11.660 --> 04:09:15.180 the interview that we have with Janice and Elevate. Elevate said they can tailor 04:09:15.180 --> 04:09:19.540 their playstyle fast and slow based on what counters their opponent. If you 04:09:19.540 --> 04:09:26.020 know your opponent in Team Orchid can play very fast-paced style Siege. You might want to slow down 04:09:26.020 --> 04:09:31.540 your own gameplay and just hold the angles, play the traps, expect that aggression and counter it, 04:09:31.540 --> 04:09:35.700 because if Eleon was to meet aggression with aggression, that might not be the safest way 04:09:35.700 --> 04:09:40.020 forward. So I'm very curious how these teams will stylistically meet each other and also what maps 04:09:40.020 --> 04:09:44.020 they want to go to, because I think they can really tell the story of how crazy this is going to get. 04:09:44.020 --> 04:09:47.940 Yeah, very much. I mean, Siege these days is so much the game of adaptation and you're right. 04:09:47.940 --> 04:09:56.240 If Elevator are a one-trick pony, all they can do is play super aggro, then, yeah, they're not going to be able to hang with the best teams in the region. 04:09:56.240 --> 04:10:03.240 They'll roll over the bottom teams, but they won't really be able to hold a candle to the more experienced teams and players. 04:10:03.240 --> 04:10:05.640 But you want to talk about experience. 04:10:05.640 --> 04:10:12.440 There's no one more experienced in the APAC region than the likes of Lycolas and BGman, even Critchey, who's now... 04:10:12.440 --> 04:10:12.940 Critchey. 04:10:12.940 --> 04:10:19.680 Once he was a young gutter now he's really become just a staple of the region. He's also clearly a bit of a memester 04:10:19.680 --> 04:10:21.720 I love the cat ears that he's been running 04:10:21.720 --> 04:10:26.660 I think he did it in the previous playday as well, but this team orchid roster. Yeah, it's a new face 04:10:26.660 --> 04:10:28.380 It's a new name a couple of new players 04:10:28.380 --> 04:10:35.780 But the heart and soul of this team is the same and that is the experience and the knowledge of players like like 04:10:35.780 --> 04:10:39.780 like Kolas and the danger of players like Crit J. 04:10:39.780 --> 04:10:42.140 And they're gunning for another spot at a major. 04:10:42.140 --> 04:10:44.820 It's been a little while, but I'm sure that they are capable. 04:10:44.820 --> 04:10:47.420 They're definitely, for me, in conversation, 04:10:47.420 --> 04:10:51.100 I think, to be honest, we haven't seen much out of Elevator yet. 04:10:51.100 --> 04:10:54.740 On paper, it's out of Team Orchid and Solzharov. 04:10:54.740 --> 04:10:57.540 Who's gonna take that second spot at the major? 04:10:57.540 --> 04:11:00.020 There's the thing about this matchup is that it's gonna show us 04:11:00.020 --> 04:11:02.900 Elevator's true level and some orchid's real level, 04:11:02.900 --> 04:11:06.380 because they both had a relatively easy first matchup, 04:11:06.380 --> 04:11:10.300 probably playing opponents that are a little bit beneath their own skill level 04:11:10.300 --> 04:11:12.220 and or just having a bad day in performance. 04:11:12.220 --> 04:11:14.900 They're both very swift 2-0s. 04:11:14.900 --> 04:11:16.900 Elevate, I have a bit more fear for this one. 04:11:16.900 --> 04:11:18.900 They played Heijou Tari, 04:11:18.900 --> 04:11:22.060 which again, the only match they've played so far is a base of 3, 04:11:22.060 --> 04:11:23.620 7-1, 7-2 victory. 04:11:23.620 --> 04:11:28.780 They have not been tested strategically or individually in terms of mechanics. 04:11:28.780 --> 04:11:32.740 If Elevate go into this game without respecting the team orchid players, 04:11:32.740 --> 04:11:35.380 which they know their names, they should respect them, right? 04:11:35.380 --> 04:11:37.220 But they seem to come out with a bit of an eagle thinking, 04:11:37.220 --> 04:11:38.500 oh, we're hot shit. 04:11:38.500 --> 04:11:40.300 That could very easily cast them off, 04:11:40.300 --> 04:11:43.060 gardening, okay, these guys are way better than what we used to, 04:11:43.060 --> 04:11:44.900 and not have a very good talent or stuff. 04:11:44.900 --> 04:11:46.780 So I want us to respect them a little bit. 04:11:46.780 --> 04:11:48.100 Yeah, very much. They're going to need to. 04:11:48.100 --> 04:11:49.580 Let's have a look at the veto though. 04:11:49.580 --> 04:11:51.500 We're going to three maps in the BO3. 04:11:51.500 --> 04:11:55.260 It's all BO3 is here in kickoff, which is so much fun. 04:11:55.260 --> 04:11:56.660 Now, Team Orca in their first game, 04:11:56.660 --> 04:11:59.460 they played Shalane Bank one, both. 04:11:59.460 --> 04:12:01.940 And finally, Bank is going to slip through as a decider, 04:12:01.940 --> 04:12:07.100 but Chalet gets banned out by Elevate, and then Solzat, I get it, so Solzat. 04:12:07.100 --> 04:12:09.620 Orkid, I get it, pick Fortress. 04:12:09.620 --> 04:12:11.140 I'm super stoked to see that. 04:12:11.140 --> 04:12:14.660 We haven't seen either of these teams play Fortress as of yet. 04:12:15.780 --> 04:12:19.300 This actually could very well be a two-mapper for either team. 04:12:19.300 --> 04:12:23.620 I really think like, if we're stronger on the defensive side, 04:12:23.620 --> 04:12:26.260 could honestly just run and mock with their opponent, 04:12:26.260 --> 04:12:28.660 because Fortress can be very defender-favorite. 04:12:28.660 --> 04:12:30.940 If you lock things down and they're being in your map, 04:12:30.940 --> 04:12:36.420 People are still not fully figured out the attack and portion of it and constantly we all know too well can be a five one half 04:12:36.420 --> 04:12:43.060 A four two half so if I leave two teams start struggling on the attack and side that can very quickly make this a fast one 04:12:43.380 --> 04:12:46.160 Yeah, no a great point there. Of course. We've got 04:12:46.980 --> 04:12:51.700 Elevate returning to console it we say one very convincingly seven two last week 04:12:51.700 --> 04:12:56.440 But as you said it comes down to both of these maps can be defended sided the opposition 04:12:56.440 --> 04:12:58.680 whoever didn't pick the map gets to choose the starting side. 04:12:58.680 --> 04:13:03.040 Now let's have a look at some of the stats from these teams really break into the nuts and bolts of this. 04:13:03.200 --> 04:13:05.860 These are the stats so far from the league. 04:13:05.860 --> 04:13:10.500 Of course, this is from the previous playday that both of these teams have played. 04:13:10.500 --> 04:13:13.880 Both teams have only played two maps so far and their 2-0 wins. 04:13:14.240 --> 04:13:18.880 Funnily enough, it's a bit of a parallel to our last game, Pengu, because the team that elevate beat, 04:13:18.880 --> 04:13:22.960 which was HLTory, the team that awkward beat, was Under the Lightmares. 04:13:22.960 --> 04:13:25.760 So it's fine. We had this direct one-to-one comparison. 04:13:25.760 --> 04:13:31.240 But I got another question for you. How much should we read into the fact that obviously I'm real nightmare won that match 04:13:31.400 --> 04:13:38.120 Does that mean that team awkward were more tested than elevate was in their first game? I would say taking you speaking 04:13:38.120 --> 04:13:41.720 Yes, they are more tested while they both were very one-sided affair 04:13:41.720 --> 04:13:45.920 It's the route the way the rounds pit out with Hachotori elevate was like 5v1 04:13:45.920 --> 04:13:49.400 I mean like four flawless rounds. It was very one-sided 04:13:49.560 --> 04:13:54.400 Team orchid actually lost rounds by getting outperformed by on the nightmare in a couple of those 04:13:54.400 --> 04:13:59.280 So, I would say if you want to come into this, better prepared, definitely, but at the end 04:13:59.280 --> 04:14:03.080 of the day, is it the match you played last week that matters, or is it going to be your 04:14:03.080 --> 04:14:04.080 actual level? 04:14:04.080 --> 04:14:08.720 So, as I said, as long as Elevate and Orc don't have egos about last week's performances, 04:14:08.720 --> 04:14:11.200 meet their point in the middle and see how good they actually are. 04:14:11.200 --> 04:14:14.400 Take this match for what it is, not for how well you played previously. 04:14:14.400 --> 04:14:17.880 And just to put some numbers to what you were saying about how dominant that Elevate game 04:14:17.880 --> 04:14:18.880 was. 04:14:18.880 --> 04:14:27.920 that match against HL Tori. Elevate now have three of their five players in the top five 04:14:27.920 --> 04:14:34.160 players in the league for stats at the moment, right? So of course we have a very small sample 04:14:34.160 --> 04:14:41.160 size, but Shibae has an EPS of 144, he got 21 kills to nine deaths, Barcode is next, 131 04:14:41.160 --> 04:14:46.700 EPS, and then Turdster from Weber and then Joe Gore. And then finally up in fifth place 04:14:46.700 --> 04:14:49.780 is Exalotic, who plays for Team Orchid. 04:14:49.780 --> 04:14:52.300 And he's one of the newer players on that roster. 04:14:52.300 --> 04:14:53.260 But we're about to dig into it. 04:14:53.260 --> 04:14:55.700 It is Team Orchid's map pick up first, 04:14:55.700 --> 04:14:57.540 and it's the newest map in the pool. 04:14:57.540 --> 04:14:59.260 I know it's one of your favorites, Pengu. 04:14:59.260 --> 04:15:02.380 It's certainly quickly becoming one of mine as well. 04:15:02.380 --> 04:15:04.760 We go to Fortress to kick things off. 04:15:04.760 --> 04:15:07.460 Elevate will start on that defensive side, 04:15:07.460 --> 04:15:10.460 and it's a time to find out whether that aggression 04:15:10.460 --> 04:15:12.300 that we saw from them in their first match 04:15:12.300 --> 04:15:14.860 is here to stay, whether it's gonna be curbed 04:15:14.860 --> 04:15:19.020 by a more experienced team, okay, let's dig in to Fortress. 04:15:22.380 --> 04:15:27.260 Lowkey expecting some bandit slash kaid bands is because it is a new map and a lot of teams, 04:15:27.260 --> 04:15:31.660 they will play around the heart destruction. It was a similar story, maps like Lair, maps like 04:15:31.660 --> 04:15:35.340 Night Haven Labs, because they have all these external walls that it's just it's step one of the 04:15:35.340 --> 04:15:40.300 round. And you don't want to get stuck, you know, getting tricked on a wall and feeling defeated 04:15:40.300 --> 04:15:44.620 already and having to problem solve outside the building. Therefore, it's very common that teams 04:15:44.620 --> 04:15:48.220 So do this in response. We did see a thermo band being targeted here 04:15:48.220 --> 04:15:53.740 I think this is a great map to ban thermite as I said, there are a lot of walls external and internal and 04:15:53.980 --> 04:15:56.700 It's usually a double or triple reinforced wall 04:15:56.700 --> 04:16:00.740 That means thermite gives a lot of value because he opens up a wide big hole 04:16:00.740 --> 04:16:07.820 You can sprint through sitting the shields you can cover angles and crossfires versus, you know jumping through a vault rotation 04:16:07.820 --> 04:16:10.020 From a cell mail or a couple of holes from Hibana 04:16:10.020 --> 04:16:18.020 So I really like this. It is gonna be Electro Boats confirmed, then Decade and of course Double Heartbeats, which that is surprising. 04:16:18.020 --> 04:16:26.020 We always talk about diminishing return. I think there is no bigger diminishing return, so lack of value than Double Heartbeats. 04:16:26.020 --> 04:16:33.020 You get secondary Cannon Openers and all these long attack and all those Gavis, you know? 04:16:33.020 --> 04:16:49.020 The thing is, once you ban Ace and Thermite, you cannot make a runnable hole with any gadgets, unless if you want, use Maverick, which takes 10 million years, and makes you very vulnerable, so very few people do it these days. 04:16:49.020 --> 04:16:55.020 Or two, you use all of your Hibana pellets to make a very thin runnable hole. 04:16:55.020 --> 04:17:08.260 Yeah, so I feel like I actually don't mind the ace thermite ban. I actually personally, I think thermite bans are just so powerful these days because of how much destruction he could do. 04:17:08.260 --> 04:17:16.940 Yes, three exothermics now, secondary shotgun, he's got flashbangs, and smokes of course, he's such a good operator. 04:17:16.940 --> 04:17:22.880 3 exothermics is huge, whether you're getting hatches or main walls. I think he's a great 04:17:22.880 --> 04:17:28.480 band. The ace, yeah, I mean, maybe a bit less impactful, but not too bad, nonetheless. 04:17:28.480 --> 04:17:32.080 The powers, I don't know if it was the first round. Blackbeard, Capita, Grimm, Solicene, 04:17:32.080 --> 04:17:37.760 Ying. This is like the top 5 strongest attackers minus Monty, basically. Like it is an insane 04:17:37.760 --> 04:17:41.560 amount of power creep in a single attacker lineup and almost in every single game that 04:17:41.560 --> 04:17:47.800 cast at least one of these five operators will be banned sometimes two earlier this day we saw 04:17:47.800 --> 04:17:53.880 grim uh ying ban we saw grim capital bans we've seen black group bans it's so common last year 04:17:54.520 --> 04:17:59.240 yet everything is wide open so ele they by doing this double harbinger ban they know that the 04:17:59.240 --> 04:18:03.000 opposition can take these power operators they gotta show us they can handle them 04:18:03.000 --> 04:18:13.920 It's about setting up and executing. When you have operators like Ying with Shotgun you 04:18:13.920 --> 04:18:17.600 need to make sure that you've got a plan of how to actually use it. I like this though, 04:18:17.600 --> 04:18:21.760 it happened to play slowly and clear out some of these players down below. I don't know 04:18:21.760 --> 04:18:26.520 where this drone is but it's spotted Enhical on the Valkyrie. 04:18:26.520 --> 04:18:32.040 Jogor has gone down first, Critchey's found him with the Blackbeard and I think XRLotix 04:18:32.040 --> 04:18:37.680 about to find a pick as well. Perfect little tap. And Hickel goes down 5v3 and with all 04:18:37.680 --> 04:18:43.680 these power operators to boot. Yeah. I respect the patience there from both teams, but I 04:18:43.680 --> 04:18:47.160 see more of the problems solving better. This nade-fire combination, not quite hitting 04:18:47.160 --> 04:18:50.800 the mark. They might even think the staircase is clear, and if they can join it, but the 04:18:50.800 --> 04:18:54.280 Greenbees come out of the staircase and they push through though, so you get so much damage, 04:18:54.280 --> 04:19:00.000 you almost don't die. But with Momo the last one standing, it doesn't matter. One player 04:19:00.000 --> 04:19:04.520 They can have a brief heroic moment there for relevate, but Team Orchid are dominant. 04:19:04.520 --> 04:19:09.440 That is a statement made and smiles all around for the Orchid boys. 04:19:09.440 --> 04:19:13.360 Relevate, maybe a little bit of a, okay guys, we're in the big leagues now. 04:19:13.360 --> 04:19:17.320 They've got to be careful because we know what Team Orchid are capable of. 04:19:17.320 --> 04:19:22.800 Again, when your opponent doesn't make mistakes and punishes yours, it's a whole different 04:19:22.800 --> 04:19:23.800 ball game. 04:19:23.800 --> 04:19:27.040 I mean, they almost did a H.O.T.O.R.I. in their debut game, where they were stuck outside 04:19:27.040 --> 04:19:31.200 the building, timer running out, your spawn killing, jumping out, running around it, just 04:19:31.200 --> 04:19:35.640 laughing about it. One small mistake here, you will lose a player in the team and then 04:19:35.640 --> 04:19:39.680 shortly after that you'll literally lose the round. From when the first kill happened 04:19:39.680 --> 04:19:44.760 on that main snare case, within 5 seconds of smoke dying, the round goes over. That 04:19:44.760 --> 04:19:50.400 was 3.5 defenders dying in 5 seconds. That is how effective that push was. And I do want 04:19:50.400 --> 04:19:54.600 to respect Elevate's patience, like they didn't actually go for the flank. They were on a 04:19:54.600 --> 04:19:59.000 drone being spotted you know that's unfortunate but they are waiting for the perfect moment and 04:19:59.000 --> 04:20:05.080 not to overstep and be too aggressive and be too eager so they weren't showing us a lot of patience 04:20:05.080 --> 04:20:09.960 which I wanted to see but see Morgan at the information game and any form you see is a very 04:20:09.960 --> 04:20:19.880 very strong tool. Info's king. I will say I'm a bit surprised most of the time I see attackers 04:20:19.880 --> 04:20:25.400 go for a map clears. Attacking that bomb site, they start over on dorms. Especially with a shield, 04:20:25.400 --> 04:20:29.160 I've seen a lot of that, but I guess it does become a little bit predictable. You know, 04:20:29.160 --> 04:20:34.520 you execute in through bathroom and a bit of horse pressure. Team Orc could very much look 04:20:34.520 --> 04:20:39.560 into trying to push from the main stairs. With a Blackbeard, that's extra hard because Blackbeard 04:20:39.560 --> 04:20:43.800 and any shield operator is very awkward around staircases because of the elevation you get angles 04:20:43.800 --> 04:20:47.400 on the kill angle. But Orc got on slowing down with the Blackbeard. In fact, they're doubling down. 04:20:47.400 --> 04:20:55.760 It's Blackbeard and the Blitz this time around with Galaz to boot. This is another deadly aggressive in-your-face lineup from team Orkin 04:20:56.640 --> 04:20:58.080 But they flipped the attack 04:20:58.080 --> 04:21:03.000 They were showing so much presence in lobby and then all of a sudden other on the roof looking to maybe go for a 04:21:03.000 --> 04:21:04.800 Brash to can drop down the tower 04:21:04.800 --> 04:21:08.240 It's one shield operator jump in the window with the other a shield operator 04:21:08.440 --> 04:21:11.760 Smoke off the breeze. Nice. Remember just hit the bumps and the previous angles at once 04:21:11.760 --> 04:21:12.840 They're gonna go for it 04:21:12.840 --> 04:21:24.840 Wow, this is risky, but in goes the Blackbeard, and Jaker is one of the perfect operators to deal with this position, though Barcode can try his best to prevent that pushing from the Blackbeard. Barcode takes a little bit of damage from behind him. 04:21:24.840 --> 04:21:34.840 But BGNan with the glass is big. This is a big move though from the Blitz as he finds one kill on the Barcode, but the glass has gone down from BGNan. 04:21:34.840 --> 04:21:41.880 Yeah, it's just the team captain and the newest recruit to try and pick up the pieces of this tatted round for team orchid and 04:21:42.360 --> 04:21:46.800 With like holis going down and peeps nowhere to be seen. It's gonna be a 1v3 04:21:47.560 --> 04:21:49.560 Elevate should be out of hand only close this out 04:21:50.840 --> 04:21:57.720 I'm not sure about peeps only into the building with all four attackers at dead on the bomb site itself, but maybe a bit of 04:21:57.720 --> 04:21:59.720 uh 04:21:59.720 --> 04:22:05.240 You know this jointed miscommunication, but either way now it's down to him two flanks of one call and parking can try and make it work 04:22:05.240 --> 04:22:08.360 I mean if n i cal over swings here on the bunk bed 04:22:08.920 --> 04:22:13.480 That's gonna open the the rounds up because he's that middle pillar and they're playing off of over here 04:22:13.480 --> 04:22:19.320 Some asami keep us going off in the distance. There's two more as well as long as they don't swing stupidly. They should just be a 04:22:21.560 --> 04:22:27.080 One more come on. Yeah last cave up waiting for it. There's still one more in pocket as well 04:22:27.720 --> 04:22:32.000 You know, it's exactly what peeps is. These keepers are really just delaying time, aren't they? 04:22:33.360 --> 04:22:35.600 This is an impossible crossfire for him. 04:22:36.400 --> 04:22:39.880 SMB 12 out, middle pig. You can see his mechanics are good. 04:22:40.720 --> 04:22:44.560 He's got the tech. Nice shot under an high cow. Winnable, 30 seconds. 04:22:44.560 --> 04:22:48.600 Is it enough time to get this done? No more Util for Joe Gore. Or Momo. 04:22:49.080 --> 04:22:55.080 Peeps is his last flashbang long angle from the mirror. But he might better wait this fight. Joe Gore locks it in. 04:22:55.080 --> 04:23:02.080 A little bit too close for Comfort in the 3v1, losing in Heikal, but Elevate will find the rounds. 04:23:02.080 --> 04:23:05.080 And with that, tie the scoreline. 04:23:05.080 --> 04:23:08.080 No need to get overrun here, Team Orchid. 04:23:08.080 --> 04:23:14.080 Really taking the fight to Elevate, but Elevate has shown that they can disrupt it just fine. 04:23:14.080 --> 04:23:17.080 And we look at the pace change. 04:23:17.080 --> 04:23:22.080 It was Orchid choosing the pace in the first round, going for a slow and steady main stairs execute. 04:23:22.080 --> 04:23:27.200 his team orchid in the second round saying screw it, we're going for a four man bombsite rush. 04:23:28.320 --> 04:23:33.920 And again, if the Blackbeard gets in and doesn't die to a straight bullet or he was looking the 04:23:33.920 --> 04:23:37.920 wrong way, what everybody died to Blackbeard just being shot from the side, didn't get to use his 04:23:37.920 --> 04:23:42.720 frag grenades either fully. If Blackbeard or Frick gets in that bombsite rotation and fights the 04:23:42.720 --> 04:23:47.680 shunt get early in the round, I mean, you get two kills in the end. That stops two members 04:23:47.680 --> 04:23:51.600 and dying on the attack, both shields would be alive, you can then probably push the bomb 04:23:51.600 --> 04:23:56.400 side. That or peeps get that back step a lot earlier in the round for if it became himself, 04:23:57.040 --> 04:24:01.520 and that could be a successful rush. So Orc is very much controlling the pace, 04:24:01.520 --> 04:24:06.320 even if it only went out second round, and because of that rush, whenever Elevator 04:24:06.320 --> 04:24:09.680 hears Smoke grenade or hear a shield running somewhere, they have to think, 04:24:09.680 --> 04:24:13.920 okay, do we have enough bodies on the bomb side to start a potential bomb side rush? 04:24:13.920 --> 04:24:18.920 Instead of they rush the roam game, the roam gets lost, then they rush the bombs and the bombsick gets lost. 04:24:18.920 --> 04:24:23.320 It's in their plan, then post plan they just kind of lose the round, and now we're seeing elevator to elevator things. 04:24:23.320 --> 04:24:26.120 Double main door, time to stop the blitz. 04:24:26.120 --> 04:24:27.120 He might not have seen both of them. 04:24:28.120 --> 04:24:29.120 Yes, and um... 04:24:30.520 --> 04:24:33.320 Wait, he's running away. Are they selling him? Surely not. 04:24:33.720 --> 04:24:36.520 I was wondering maybe they were just baiting it, but no, I think... 04:24:37.720 --> 04:24:41.120 No, I think like, Horses isn't going to take the bait there, he'll fall back. 04:24:41.120 --> 04:24:46.320 But yeah, dead right. The fact that Orc could have played so aggressively in these first two rounds 04:24:47.040 --> 04:24:51.200 means that Elevator now gonna have to second guess everything. You can't go as aggressive on your 04:24:51.200 --> 04:24:56.160 roam. You can't have as many players on site because constantly you're wondering what if there are 04:24:56.160 --> 04:25:03.840 two shields knocking on the bomb site. A bit of a different roamcare here. Getting into a 04:25:03.840 --> 04:25:11.280 to Hammam possibly. They're on the window, they're drilling the breach, they see one 04:25:11.280 --> 04:25:15.000 room or another. They're just standing out around the building, they're bobbing most 04:25:15.000 --> 04:25:18.480 of the entryways, but they're in both the blitz, and they're in the bathroom as well, 04:25:18.480 --> 04:25:23.600 and creature wins the gunfight. The offside skirmish though doesn't end there, as N.I.K. 04:25:23.600 --> 04:25:32.120 finds one. Still good ground taken by Team Orchid. Wow, very split, very roam heavy, 04:25:32.120 --> 04:25:38.280 very loose from Elevate. Orchid don't have a Blackbeard to rally behind just the Blitz, 04:25:38.280 --> 04:25:42.720 but he's really not great at gaining as much information because he's not a long-range 04:25:42.720 --> 04:25:47.040 threat, just a short-range threat compared to that Blackbeard which is better in long 04:25:47.040 --> 04:25:53.160 range. However, like all this is better for solo clearing his close-range positions, and 04:25:53.160 --> 04:25:56.880 he can do that himself, a lot of face checking going on here, trying to expedite the process. 04:25:56.880 --> 04:26:03.480 Oh yeah, a horizontal clear though is uncommon of this bomb site because I mean the vertical dominance you can achieve 04:26:04.680 --> 04:26:08.380 Look at the drone count. There are zero drones left for the attack 04:26:08.380 --> 04:26:14.360 It is very like Wallace Peeke in every angle with guns somewhat behind them holding flanks right now 04:26:14.800 --> 04:26:20.920 When they get to this bomb site every flank is open and elevate noses the in-game drone counter will tell them that information 04:26:20.920 --> 04:26:26.240 A breezy furnace is applied pressure. Mind you, you cannot plant in that furnace room. 04:26:26.240 --> 04:26:28.360 You gotta push people in towards the bomb site. 04:26:28.440 --> 04:26:32.560 This means you gotta do deep for this attack to the actual enemy team. You cannot plant here in that spot. 04:26:32.560 --> 04:26:35.080 I like that Jogor's playing it so passively here as well. 04:26:35.080 --> 04:26:40.520 He's tucked away in the corner and Hickel has picked up for one. BG goes down. Here comes the logic bomb. 04:26:40.520 --> 04:26:44.560 That though could be cool. There's a flank here from Shibae. He's snuck in behind. 04:26:44.960 --> 04:26:49.560 If Orcid aren't watching, then that will be pretty much the end of the round. Good flash! 04:26:49.560 --> 04:26:55.120 like hold us up close but no we can't confirm the kill on the barcode peeps is 04:26:55.120 --> 04:26:59.880 the last one left in elevate one by one they take these fights they're not 04:26:59.880 --> 04:27:04.480 afraid of fighting awkward where it hurts and that's why they've just taken 04:27:04.480 --> 04:27:09.560 the lead to one up for the defense that's the first time elevator actually 04:27:09.560 --> 04:27:14.000 in the controlling position I mean they did such a great job of fanning out 04:27:14.000 --> 04:27:17.480 around the bomb site they set itself didn't really matter to them because 04:27:17.480 --> 04:27:23.080 That's kind of in the middle of the building if you will sort of so instead of playing on the side of waiting for the attackers 04:27:23.160 --> 04:27:25.840 They will fan out everywhere laundry 04:27:26.080 --> 04:27:27.160 Hammam 04:27:27.160 --> 04:27:33.240 Music room main lobby and it just stop team or give me actually into in the building on their primary floor and 04:27:33.680 --> 04:27:39.280 They only really do so by using a smoke grenade that's jumping in quickly winning a gunfight and then elevate 04:27:39.280 --> 04:27:41.120 They keep doing the same thing they peel back the layer 04:27:41.120 --> 04:27:45.760 They get one step closer and closer to the bomb site and by the time they get there 04:27:45.760 --> 04:27:46.880 They've killed every drone 04:27:46.880 --> 04:27:52.280 They're even in manpower 4v4 and then they go for a back step play while holding the site 04:27:52.560 --> 04:27:57.000 So again, they have so many ways to win the round and the bomb set in the end. We never really saw it 04:27:57.280 --> 04:27:59.960 Yeah, we saw them be as furthest, but that's not the bombsite 04:27:59.960 --> 04:28:03.400 You can't find there. We never saw them actually approach the bombsite door 04:28:05.400 --> 04:28:09.360 There's a reason why we very rarely see full run clears of that bomb 04:28:09.360 --> 04:28:13.120 side of the map and it's because all of those little rooms all of those little 04:28:13.120 --> 04:28:17.840 hallways on that side of the map it's it's like a maze man it's like a rat 04:28:17.840 --> 04:28:22.520 race trying to chase players through that area like it's so hard to roam clear 04:28:22.520 --> 04:28:28.440 even with a doggie even with a shield you saw it you know you take a 1v1 4v4 at 04:28:28.440 --> 04:28:33.720 the end of it sorry elevate fall back so it's it's a bit of a sunk cost 04:28:33.720 --> 04:28:36.880 fallacy once you take that control you think that that's the best place to 04:28:36.880 --> 04:28:41.320 push from but like you said still a node really close so it's executing on the 04:28:41.320 --> 04:28:45.320 site I think that was just a good roam game from Elevate I think or could 04:28:45.320 --> 04:28:48.560 really you need to realize that you're trying to fight players there and 04:28:48.560 --> 04:28:52.080 realize okay we're falling back it's only worth taking that control if it's 04:28:52.080 --> 04:28:55.160 for free because otherwise you think way too much time. 04:28:55.160 --> 04:28:58.920 We're all good now after the operator bans they've got rid of the mirror that's big 04:28:58.920 --> 04:29:03.680 we saw Elevate pick that twice and Elevate get rid of the black bit which 04:29:03.680 --> 04:29:08.960 means it's just the Blitz and the Monty being leveraged here for Orc. 04:29:08.960 --> 04:29:12.880 I like the Monty here, a lot safer with Operator. Like you said, the staircase is 04:29:12.880 --> 04:29:15.920 kind of triggers your feeder. Your head is like in a different angle, your 04:29:15.920 --> 04:29:18.480 feeder exposed. This ensures that you can just walk 04:29:18.480 --> 04:29:20.720 off the mobile straight, burn your toxic babes. 04:29:20.720 --> 04:29:23.680 So that's what's going to happen. Monty's going to keep toying with the smoke on main 04:29:23.680 --> 04:29:25.520 stairs and just say, I'm burning the smokes. 04:29:25.520 --> 04:29:29.120 When Barca wants out a gas, he can no longer stick around main stairs. 04:29:29.120 --> 04:29:32.400 They don't even have a drop to the tower and try and fight him and they can just 04:29:32.400 --> 04:29:36.880 burn time and eventually gain the map control. While Munty's doing that, you're setting up your 04:29:36.880 --> 04:29:42.240 flying drones and your safe positions. Maybe you're having a back step or somewhere. Right now, 04:29:42.240 --> 04:29:46.880 they're just droning. It's going to be peeps and lobbies, fire in hand, everybody else on zones, 04:29:46.880 --> 04:29:50.400 and Munty's peeking for himself. Then there's the tower play right here. Oh, and I'll show up with 04:29:50.400 --> 04:29:55.120 secret J. Logan to make a play, catch and I kill in the rotation, and then I put a special barcode, 04:29:55.120 --> 04:30:00.080 because now barcode has lost his friend. He has to fall back. He can no longer take his life. 04:30:00.080 --> 04:30:06.580 Yeah, this is perfect. Really well played from Orcid. Now, like, Hollis has so much information playing at the top of these stairs. 04:30:06.580 --> 04:30:10.780 He could even potentially go for an aim down side, so he's also got a capotab behind him. 04:30:10.780 --> 04:30:13.380 Plenty of utility, good ground taken. 04:30:13.380 --> 04:30:21.580 And, what's more, there's also a breach onto the bomb site, a rotate hill made by Elevate from inside of the bedroom into Tower. 04:30:21.580 --> 04:30:25.580 Which opens up another Avenue of entry here for Orcid. 04:30:25.580 --> 04:30:33.580 I think I can open this with Monty, so they can pop up. Actually I'm in Capitao and Grim as well, so I can see how it's almost hard to destruction. 04:30:33.580 --> 04:30:39.580 There's a guy here on the single wall, open double wall, Monty can walk in, try to establish a plan, and there is no denial. 04:30:39.580 --> 04:30:43.580 No smoke mostly for, like Coloss. You cannot afford to die on the Monty by ADSing. 04:30:43.580 --> 04:30:50.580 This is perfect though, we peep spider that kill. Like Coloss is so tempted to just enter inside, but not even going to come to that, 04:30:50.580 --> 04:30:55.220 that because everyone from Elevate will fall. Orchid, our complete dominance, Mongo gets revealed by 04:30:55.220 --> 04:31:00.420 the solid snake, as they know he is at horse. The plant can start going down. If you get the plant 04:31:00.420 --> 04:31:05.780 down with a Monty alive, there's just no universe where that wins for the defense and teams will 04:31:05.780 --> 04:31:10.900 go swing to find the final kill. That is the most convincing round we've seen from either team, 04:31:10.900 --> 04:31:16.900 as of yet, flawless for Orchid. I love how they're changing the pace, right? 04:31:16.900 --> 04:31:20.900 double shield, glass, bombsite, rush, then they're playing the Blackbeard, then it's the Blitz, 04:31:20.900 --> 04:31:25.700 and now it's going to be a Monty. And this is the slowest, most controlled round. And if you look 04:31:25.700 --> 04:31:31.780 back at everything that happened, there is only two areas in which Team Orchid will lose that round. 04:31:31.780 --> 04:31:38.260 And the first one is in that big tower. If Crit J doesn't win that gunfight, and dies right here, 04:31:38.260 --> 04:31:41.780 that is then going to make it much, much more difficult, much closer to the staircase, because 04:31:41.780 --> 04:31:45.780 now the defenders have to crossfire from two different angles, not the attackers. The Crit J 04:31:45.780 --> 04:31:50.660 in Monty looking that same direction. The only other area where things go wrong is if you 04:31:50.660 --> 04:31:55.180 all get flanked, let's be honest, impossible. They have five people lobby with a billion 04:31:55.180 --> 04:31:58.380 drones in the Monty, that's not gonna happen. And the other one is they just lose their 04:31:58.380 --> 04:32:01.540 gunfights because each is an FPS game at the end of the day. 04:32:01.540 --> 04:32:06.780 Stats, he didn't speaking, they just lose that round. There is almost no counterplay 04:32:06.780 --> 04:32:11.540 from ever made on paper and the smoke has no motocross evades because they didn't play 04:32:11.540 --> 04:32:16.260 PS4 didn't have any verticality to decrease the advantage and you don't even have an aisle 04:32:16.460 --> 04:32:21.020 It's a matter of when or it was gonna win that round not if they're gonna win it from the moment 04:32:21.020 --> 04:32:23.780 They wouldn't have to look at that's how rock solid that was 04:32:24.220 --> 04:32:26.420 It's not that I know you love talking about pangu 04:32:26.420 --> 04:32:28.020 But the fact that orchid 04:32:28.020 --> 04:32:34.060 Kid that Monty until the black beard band came out means that for the rest of this match even into overtime 04:32:34.060 --> 04:32:39.740 Should we get there this montane's gonna be up and I wouldn't be surprised if like all this picks it pretty much every 04:32:39.740 --> 04:32:44.500 single round. Now the problem is I'm a little bit scared by how much Orchid 04:32:44.500 --> 04:32:49.180 attempted to try and continue chasing these rats down on the road below. It's 04:32:49.180 --> 04:32:55.340 not an easy thing to do that these so many hallways around music room and 04:32:55.340 --> 04:33:00.580 a mom is not worth chasing players down there. It's kind of like Sky School 04:33:00.580 --> 04:33:04.620 where this map doesn't really have like a middle and a center where you can 04:33:04.620 --> 04:33:10.860 caught off the map. It's just a bunch of hallways. Small rooms. In this hallways it feels like. So 04:33:10.860 --> 04:33:14.620 you're chasing that roamer, you're never gonna see the end of it. He's gonna keep running away from 04:33:14.620 --> 04:33:18.140 you. You can catch him. It's not like Shelly where you're out through the window somewhere. You can 04:33:18.140 --> 04:33:22.300 see half of the map and they just cannot cross your angle out, you're knowing. So again, I think 04:33:22.300 --> 04:33:26.220 you're right. It's not worth chasing for it. Also you got the Monty. There's another Blitz. 04:33:26.220 --> 04:33:32.140 Just get the info horse. See? They're running back. Why? Because Monty, nobody else is really there. 04:33:32.140 --> 04:33:35.060 I mean, Peach is behind him across the corner, but he's not really going for a fight. 04:33:35.060 --> 04:33:40.360 He's just making money to do the work for you, and then Crit-J, an extra-lot of him, can cut the crosses elsewhere. 04:33:40.360 --> 04:33:44.860 Crit-J holding a flank here on tower, and we saw Lycolis outside the window as well. 04:33:44.860 --> 04:33:45.860 This is excellent. 04:33:45.860 --> 04:33:46.360 Yeah. 04:33:46.360 --> 04:33:47.360 This is great. 04:33:47.360 --> 04:33:51.040 A little bit of damage on the Lycolis, but thankfully he gets out of dodge. 04:33:51.040 --> 04:33:52.540 The Vulcan fire will... 04:33:52.540 --> 04:33:54.240 Oh, sorry, that was the gas pipe. 04:33:54.240 --> 04:33:57.040 No, but no, sorry, it was a Vulcan fire in high-cow. 04:33:57.040 --> 04:33:59.040 I thought that it was going for a second. 04:33:59.040 --> 04:34:00.040 Oh, yeah. 04:34:00.040 --> 04:34:06.900 That's gonna take ages to burn on out once it finally does though orchid are again gonna have so much control 04:34:07.180 --> 04:34:10.960 Well, they'd actually have a rotating to old tower as well 04:34:10.960 --> 04:34:17.080 I wonder if all good if they want you could even rotate find that but the moment they can just consolidate their adage because they're gonna 5v3 04:34:18.080 --> 04:34:19.800 To big pigs 04:34:19.800 --> 04:34:23.200 Jogor force it to a very desperate flank up the main stairs 04:34:23.200 --> 04:34:25.840 This is surely a death which surely peaks will be aware of it 04:34:25.840 --> 04:34:31.200 Hang on a second. Like Holos is just falling on the floor. Your Monty should not be going down, Joe Gore 04:34:31.280 --> 04:34:37.400 should not be allowed to flank like that. He gets traded back by Ex-R-Lotic at the breach and Shiba is detected 04:34:37.640 --> 04:34:43.300 inside of the Grimm's bees. It's time for Ex-R-Lotic in Cretjaya to try and support. Go D, Barcode finds one, 04:34:43.300 --> 04:34:46.540 but he's the last one standing. It comes down to the 1v1. 04:34:47.280 --> 04:34:51.540 Beachy's low HP, but he has the defuser and tons of time on his hands. 04:34:51.540 --> 04:35:00.820 He's so low on HP and the fire could finish him off, but Barco doesn't know where he is. 04:35:00.820 --> 04:35:04.420 And now BG Man can fall all the way back. 04:35:04.420 --> 04:35:07.540 Barco dancing around the corners. 04:35:07.540 --> 04:35:13.340 BG Man should have the advantage, but needs to play it perfectly, finds the headshot and 04:35:13.340 --> 04:35:14.900 a big clutch up. 04:35:14.900 --> 04:35:18.740 The team orchid detect the lead for the first time on Fortress. 04:35:18.740 --> 04:35:19.740 Beautiful. 04:35:19.740 --> 04:35:24.880 I mean it gets a bit messy than in the middle of it because like Cole has died on the Munzee 04:35:24.880 --> 04:35:26.180 Which I'm not sure how that happened 04:35:26.180 --> 04:35:31.300 Maybe it's just like a fire stacker and I'm not entirely certain and then the flang goes great from illy bait 04:35:31.300 --> 04:35:36.860 They catch two big kills at the perfect moment, but see orchid. They are so swift at the response 04:35:37.460 --> 04:35:44.380 Look how quickly I think it's Joe bro flanking. He dies straight after getting the kill from the person out to be right here 04:35:44.420 --> 04:35:47.660 That's the flanger dead. So it's like the second you get this all 04:35:47.660 --> 04:35:49.260 Let's say you think, ah, I can win the round. 04:35:49.260 --> 04:35:51.100 Let me have a team on that. 04:35:51.100 --> 04:35:52.940 Such a swift response. 04:35:52.940 --> 04:35:55.740 And then BG man, the big ring condition there in the 1v1, 04:35:55.740 --> 04:35:59.460 he didn't shoot his bullet in fear or panic. 04:35:59.460 --> 04:36:01.300 He was hiding behind the couch 04:36:01.300 --> 04:36:04.420 and to shanggai, he swung the door once, didn't shoot. 04:36:04.420 --> 04:36:06.220 Because no shanggai didn't see him. 04:36:06.220 --> 04:36:09.720 So he has the information advantage, position advantage. 04:36:09.720 --> 04:36:12.060 And that's very important because when you're so low 04:36:12.060 --> 04:36:14.260 as BG man was like a single bullet will injure him, 04:36:14.260 --> 04:36:17.220 you can have a forward, this panic shoot 04:36:17.220 --> 04:36:21.860 hope that the enemy makes a mistake. You have to don't play flawlessly and not give them a chance 04:36:21.860 --> 04:36:26.340 to win the battle. And that's exactly what he did. So T-Market again, full control of the 04:36:26.340 --> 04:36:31.780 Monty and you're right, so far they're gonna play it every single time for the rest of the half 04:36:31.780 --> 04:36:35.780 since they've seen that Operator ban, red to perfection, baiting out the Blackbeard. 04:36:35.780 --> 04:36:47.980 So last round of the half we're going into now and I know that you said before, Penger, 04:36:47.980 --> 04:36:54.580 you feel like at the very top level, Fortress can skew the attack, but I feel like it shouldn't 04:36:54.580 --> 04:36:56.500 be the case between these two teams. 04:36:56.500 --> 04:37:02.060 I'd be surprised if Elevate are able to mash a 4-2 split if Orc could achieve that in this 04:37:02.060 --> 04:37:03.660 coming round. 04:37:03.660 --> 04:37:08.340 I really feel like that just puts all the more pressure on elevate to win this loss rather defense here. I 04:37:10.260 --> 04:37:14.380 Can only agree with you the way team August been attacking and how much they've been 04:37:14.620 --> 04:37:20.940 Controlling the pace with the Monty is not in that every team can do and I think elevate just went expecting this kind of play style 04:37:22.020 --> 04:37:28.200 Let's see if I can do it all on time though like call this has been again exceptional at room clearing and just taking out all the 04:37:28.200 --> 04:37:30.700 Angles step by step. He has nobody near him 04:37:30.700 --> 04:37:35.820 It's literally just like causing them to walk in in keeps got injured. I said I mean lobby traded 04:37:35.820 --> 04:37:38.740 I have the balls to confirm the kill and trade it back as well 04:37:38.860 --> 04:37:43.700 They're always watching each other so because Muncie is safe and that assists in the Muncie. Oh 04:37:44.980 --> 04:37:48.580 MoMo managed to shoot him from behind XR lotto is able to trade this has been a 04:37:48.940 --> 04:37:55.560 Absolute bloodbath of around peeps is still on the ground XR lotto does have time to go for a revive 04:37:55.560 --> 04:37:57.960 But he has to do it soon and he's being watched 04:37:57.960 --> 04:38:03.000 from outside on that window. Wow that timing was something else there and 04:38:03.000 --> 04:38:09.560 with that the half is done and elevate need to finish it off on the attack. 04:38:27.960 --> 04:38:29.960 I 04:38:57.960 --> 04:39:06.680 for credit now i know that it has always been you i can't help it i'm so drawn to you 04:39:07.640 --> 04:39:15.800 i'm stuck to madness we just quit running and nothing we can't be taken for credit 04:39:16.760 --> 04:39:23.240 nobody has always been you i can't help it i'm so drawn to you 04:39:27.960 --> 04:39:29.960 I'm talking to you 04:39:31.960 --> 04:39:33.960 I'm talking to you 04:39:36.960 --> 04:39:38.960 I'm talking to you 04:39:41.960 --> 04:39:43.960 Just get me inside 04:39:44.960 --> 04:39:47.960 What stars are like tell me it's night 04:39:49.960 --> 04:39:51.960 Cause I got something to gain 04:39:52.960 --> 04:39:56.960 I know I had a wonderful feeling 04:39:57.960 --> 04:40:02.040 Just like a magnet, we're just like a magnet 04:40:02.040 --> 04:40:06.600 The things we've been thinking for pretty long 04:40:06.600 --> 04:40:10.200 I know that it has always been you 04:40:10.200 --> 04:40:13.880 Yeah, I can't believe I'm so tired of being you 04:40:15.080 --> 04:40:18.520 A bit of an anti-climatic end to the first half 04:40:18.520 --> 04:40:22.440 But credit to Elevate, again, a really strong Rome game 04:40:22.440 --> 04:40:24.120 They really took the fight to walk it 04:40:25.000 --> 04:40:27.320 And even half is exactly what they've been gunning for 04:40:27.320 --> 04:40:34.840 they now set themselves up very well on fortress. I felt a bit like a cast occurs because I was 04:40:34.840 --> 04:40:38.840 gassing up the Monty, how unkillable he was, how smart they're playing it, and then two seconds 04:40:38.840 --> 04:40:46.040 later he dies. Eleonade, there are being a little rats running around, but very successfully so, 04:40:46.040 --> 04:40:51.800 good coordination, good like at picking where to take the fight. I think that's something that's 04:40:51.800 --> 04:40:56.360 that's very difficult as a roaming player, you know, windows are opening doors, you hear 04:40:56.360 --> 04:41:00.480 Monty go for the call, like so much in the servers going on. Where is actually a good 04:41:00.480 --> 04:41:06.080 spot to stop moving and choose to take your fight? Elevate, exceptionally good at that. 04:41:06.080 --> 04:41:10.400 Operator balance, I like what I'm seeing here. Orchid on the standing for Monty, removing 04:41:10.400 --> 04:41:14.840 that and the Grim for Intel. Elevate, same story as the Orchid, you remove the Electro 04:41:14.840 --> 04:41:18.840 Bros because now you can focus on actually playing the power operators and always guaranteeing 04:41:18.840 --> 04:41:27.040 those walls to get opened up. I am curious though, in my mind, Elevate is actually one 04:41:27.040 --> 04:41:31.640 of the few teams in the world that I don't think would play Monty that often over all 04:41:31.640 --> 04:41:36.840 the shield operators due to the nature of the aggressive playstyle. However, this is 04:41:36.840 --> 04:41:40.640 fortress, it is in a new map so I do feel like this is probably the one-timer Elevate 04:41:40.640 --> 04:41:43.640 probably would bring it because it is hard to navigate the layout. 04:41:46.840 --> 04:41:47.840 Yeah, I'd agree. 04:41:49.640 --> 04:41:51.840 It's just Monty is such a good operator. 04:41:51.840 --> 04:41:53.040 Just pick when you're not really sure. 04:41:53.540 --> 04:41:54.940 Yeah, 100% sure. 04:41:55.040 --> 04:41:58.340 There is with Blitz and Blackbeard, you need confidence. 04:41:58.340 --> 04:42:01.640 You cannot play a Blitz or a Blackbeard unless if you are like, 04:42:01.640 --> 04:42:03.140 yeah, I'm gonna get on the Blitz. 04:42:03.140 --> 04:42:03.940 I'm gonna get on the Blackbeard. 04:42:03.940 --> 04:42:06.440 If you don't have that aura, then it's not gonna work. 04:42:06.440 --> 04:42:08.540 Whereas Monty, you can get away with, 04:42:08.540 --> 04:42:11.260 Let's just play the Monty and figure things out, you know? 04:42:11.260 --> 04:42:14.620 I'm not really sure, you know, I haven't gotten many kills this game, I'll just play a drone. 04:42:14.620 --> 04:42:16.820 I'll just play, yeah, in fact, I'll play Monty. 04:42:16.820 --> 04:42:23.380 Um, very curiously here, first primary bomb site being picked, Tertiary, Kitchen, we're downstairs. 04:42:23.380 --> 04:42:27.900 And this is actually where Elevi were fending out and getting huge success, literally defending lineups. 04:42:27.900 --> 04:42:34.140 We're talking Vigil, Ella, Aroni, locking down areas, go to the bomb site stall. 04:42:34.140 --> 04:42:40.140 They want to do an image of them, burying down the clock, roam heavily, but still have that fallback potential to stall time. 04:42:40.140 --> 04:42:46.140 Well, that was risky. Barko knew that there was an element above the door, decided to sprint through while the smoke was covering him. 04:42:46.140 --> 04:42:52.140 But this is exactly the problem that Orc had ran into, trying to clear this entire side of the map. 04:42:52.140 --> 04:43:02.140 Her mom and lounge and sitting in all these areas, it's so hard. It's so many different rooms, especially with that external wall reinforced. 04:43:02.140 --> 04:43:18.140 Orca debating them in very nicely and with Enkai cal down early that means the late round they're not going to have those logic bombs to try and clear these roamers, Orca would have really, I think, learned a few things from what they struggled with on their attack and then kind of using that against Elevate. 04:43:18.140 --> 04:43:24.620 as the matrix you see right now barcode struggling on the blitz and for good reason there are 04:43:24.620 --> 04:43:29.660 so many angles so many potential areas of the rumor about why you can stop someone straight 04:43:29.660 --> 04:43:34.140 chasing after Ella but every single dollar blitz enters he has to be worried about is 04:43:34.140 --> 04:43:38.220 there going to be an illamine here does it have a spare in pocket we don't know for sure 04:43:38.220 --> 04:43:42.860 but they've gotten the map controller they need more or less they get the primary of that first 04:43:42.860 --> 04:43:48.060 floor but that means the flanks are open from the staircases and the bomb site well we don't 04:43:48.060 --> 04:43:51.580 have a lot of tools there's no heart breach for example they're kind of 04:43:51.580 --> 04:43:55.780 relying on the ying the glass that smokes this is like fine peaking create chaos 04:43:55.780 --> 04:43:59.740 but that's where Arunigate's toxic base and Goryo fire can stop them before they 04:43:59.740 --> 04:44:03.820 even get started yeah tells you the value of an Arunigate when Momo's even 04:44:03.820 --> 04:44:08.780 gonna burn an air jam for it the only real win condition here for Elevate is 04:44:08.780 --> 04:44:12.500 finding a big explosive attack onto the side but it's gonna be hard to do that 04:44:12.500 --> 04:44:17.420 when the two players in deficit now and Bakka cannot confirm that kill on the 04:44:17.420 --> 04:44:22.380 peeps. It's time for Momo to try and get in the action with a crossfire, but there's a nice kill, 04:44:22.380 --> 04:44:27.980 but he is now trapped behind the runigate. A second one of his airjabs are used to burn through 04:44:27.980 --> 04:44:33.100 that as well. And now, well actually it's a 2v3. Maybe if Critch over peeks it's winnable, 04:44:33.100 --> 04:44:40.140 but the fire makes it pretty much impossible. BGman finds the first and yeah, poor one HP barcode. 04:44:40.140 --> 04:44:45.980 Finally finished off on the Blitz and Elevate Struggle in that first attack. 04:44:47.420 --> 04:44:52.920 For good reason. I mean, that was a very well-layered defense in Team Orchid. 04:44:52.920 --> 04:44:57.920 I mean, from the very beginning, it seemed like they were the team that was more prepared here on Fortress, 04:44:57.920 --> 04:45:02.920 which, you know, they're a mad pick on the top right, so that's the case. 04:45:02.920 --> 04:45:07.920 I mean, maybe this is a matter of Elevate not necessarily thinking they're gonna go here. 04:45:07.920 --> 04:45:14.920 Orchid also just has more, I think, strategy behind them. 04:45:14.920 --> 04:45:19.640 Not that enemy isn't playing strategically, but obviously the enemy is going to be a gunskill team, 04:45:19.640 --> 04:45:22.280 almost like we do get some Brazilian teams internationally and go, 04:45:22.280 --> 04:45:26.440 these guys, they might not know how to perfectly pick apart every single setup, 04:45:26.440 --> 04:45:29.960 but they will still win the round, they will just pick you apart instead of the site. 04:45:30.760 --> 04:45:34.440 Elements give me that kind of vibe. Again, they're forcing these power operators, 04:45:34.440 --> 04:45:39.240 not in terms of executes, but for roam clear, for kills, for chaos. So you're all going to 04:45:39.240 --> 04:45:43.720 just play an American. We have this roam, we can fortify with a lot of players, 04:45:43.720 --> 04:45:47.480 because we got the Goya Rune by the bomb site, at least they cannot rush us. 04:45:47.480 --> 04:45:51.720 And when they're attacking, it's all about the monkey just walking in getting free control. 04:45:51.720 --> 04:45:56.760 It's very structured, it's very controlled, and it's definitely making it harder for Elevate 04:45:56.760 --> 04:45:58.760 to find those gaps or create those gaps. 04:46:05.800 --> 04:46:09.800 I don't know if I'm convinced by what Elevator is tempting me with here. 04:46:09.800 --> 04:46:17.240 Blackbeard, Ying, Deimos, Glaz, Ace. On paper, it's utterly terrifying. But against Smoke, 04:46:17.240 --> 04:46:26.320 Denari, Ella, Goyothorn, I don't know man, this is kind of the perfect storm of Util that 04:46:26.320 --> 04:46:30.400 you really just don't want to be jumping into sight and dealing with. 04:46:30.400 --> 04:46:33.960 That's the thing, again, like, she more can have to be prepared to come and stay expecting 04:46:33.960 --> 04:46:38.460 a certain playstyle from Elevee, and Elevee are brute forcing it on Williamson's render 04:46:38.460 --> 04:46:44.460 He's shotguns from the staircase, he almost kills both players, that gives him like 1 hp, I lost your Nade 04:46:44.460 --> 04:46:48.460 You might have erased the booms, if that guy drops all the way down it could be in trouble 04:46:52.460 --> 04:46:53.460 What's this last Nade? 04:46:53.460 --> 04:46:58.460 Yeah, and he's just trying to take the first little step of map control, hopefully he gets him a kill on the crit jay 04:46:58.460 --> 04:47:06.460 Problem is, you kill any of these defenders and with the exception of Smoke, the utility that that operator brings is still going to be so valuable 04:47:06.460 --> 04:47:11.680 Very much opposite case with all of these attacking operators brought to the table 04:47:13.060 --> 04:47:18.380 You see a really massive commitment from like Hollis to try to hold on. I saw a nade coming from down below 04:47:18.380 --> 04:47:20.140 That's a cheeky idea 04:47:20.140 --> 04:47:25.980 Barco takes a hell of a lot of damage. You're right though. All the nades are gone. No capitao. No displacement. You till 04:47:26.500 --> 04:47:33.380 She base just died through a hole in the floor. That is very cheeky from orchid like Hollis is in a hell in a sell position 04:47:33.380 --> 04:47:40.060 He's being well supported by his teammates and elevate can't afford to take too many risks here. They can't break through 04:47:41.580 --> 04:47:46.260 Not at all there were the Call of Duty the cross five back was been here the entire round 04:47:46.740 --> 04:47:50.900 Somebody please help this man. They have no more grenades last an hour. It's right there 04:47:50.900 --> 04:47:53.380 They know what these defenders are or he swings him 04:47:53.580 --> 04:48:00.220 But if it blundered them extra logic because now I call it up downstairs. Oh good shot from in high Cal though 04:48:00.220 --> 04:48:07.220 Now BGman has to 1v2 but he makes a 1v1 so winnable with the Blackbeard gone down. 04:48:07.220 --> 04:48:17.220 Problem is, Enhicow not only has a yellow ping, he's got red ping so he can bring out this Vendetta and start hunting down BGman. 04:48:17.220 --> 04:48:20.220 He wants to go deep for it, he doesn't have to fuse though, he's going to have to go pick that up. 04:48:20.220 --> 04:48:24.220 And of course BGman also has some info on Enhicow as well. 04:48:24.220 --> 04:48:30.380 Well, the repositioning, this 1v1 is all kid, but BG-Man has the superior weapon for it. 04:48:30.380 --> 04:48:34.840 In close range, the Scorpion comes to life, and Hickel does not have another gadget to 04:48:34.840 --> 04:48:35.840 scan. 04:48:35.840 --> 04:48:38.440 He has to reposition and try and take the fight. 04:48:38.440 --> 04:48:46.080 Five rounds in that pistol, as BG-Man has 39 in his SMG, he repositions, baits him out. 04:48:46.080 --> 04:48:51.160 Another three shots expired, now it's just time for the AK, lot of damage dealt, and 04:48:51.160 --> 04:48:53.040 High Cal has to go for the kill. 04:48:53.040 --> 04:48:58.040 BG Man, they trade directly and BG Man wins the round. 04:49:01.600 --> 04:49:05.400 Again, it's a positional masterclass. 04:49:05.400 --> 04:49:07.720 It is two separate 1v1s, 04:49:07.720 --> 04:49:09.440 taking the other 1v2 for BG Man 04:49:09.440 --> 04:49:13.320 where he does the way because he has significantly better aim 04:49:13.320 --> 04:49:16.880 or much more information or a C4 kind of pocket play. 04:49:16.880 --> 04:49:20.080 He plays superior positioning on the bomb site, 04:49:20.080 --> 04:49:23.840 always forcing an even gunfight or in his favor, 04:49:23.840 --> 04:49:27.760 stalling out the plan, baiting it back and forth and utilizing the timer, 04:49:27.760 --> 04:49:32.400 only being in that 30 second mark. So well played and has forced a tactical 04:49:32.400 --> 04:49:35.840 timeout now from Elevate. 04:49:36.400 --> 04:49:42.560 So what to say now for Elevate? You flip the uh the playstyle, right? I mean 04:49:42.560 --> 04:49:45.840 they've been forcing this, this shields the acroplace into traps. I think you 04:49:45.840 --> 04:49:48.640 gotta play more structured. Yeah. But this is the thing that's so 04:49:48.640 --> 04:49:56.960 genius. What operator did Orchid ban that stops the EC solution? Monty. They banned it. So if they 04:49:56.960 --> 04:50:00.640 would have said guys were struggling with the with the Acro plays, let's play the structured 04:50:00.640 --> 04:50:06.320 slow methodical playstyle, well, you literally have lost the number one operator that builds that 04:50:06.320 --> 04:50:12.560 playstyle. So now the kind of options were a third option, which is play strategy, play structured, 04:50:12.560 --> 04:50:18.000 but without any shields, perhaps, but how a bird from your room, you have to map without any shields, 04:50:18.000 --> 04:50:20.000 didn't get to have insane drum work. 04:50:20.000 --> 04:50:27.000 I tend to find the most successful teams don't hard commit to a full glass denarii, 04:50:27.000 --> 04:50:29.000 ying, blackbeard type lineup. 04:50:29.000 --> 04:50:31.000 Glass denarii, famous. 04:50:31.000 --> 04:50:33.000 They usually do a little bit of half-half, right? 04:50:33.000 --> 04:50:37.000 You know, you've got your shield, which can play passive or aggressive. 04:50:37.000 --> 04:50:41.000 You'll have maybe one or two of those aggressive type operators, 04:50:41.000 --> 04:50:47.000 but then you'll have a more standard typical composition with, you know, a grim or a striker, 04:50:47.000 --> 04:50:51.200 or Flores or a Nomad or a Twitch, something that enables the execute. 04:50:51.200 --> 04:50:55.480 Capitao is also a great one and these are the kind of team comps that Orcid was 04:50:55.480 --> 04:51:00.640 running right. We have the Blitz and the Blackbeard, Ying and the Blackbeard or the 04:51:00.640 --> 04:51:06.760 Monty and then we have kind of a spring pin of more normal operators that are 04:51:06.760 --> 04:51:10.800 just good for a general round of siege. Whereas if you do five out of five ops 04:51:10.800 --> 04:51:16.040 that offer a specific cheesy playstyle and Orcid don't let you out of the tower 04:51:16.040 --> 04:51:19.360 Then you're not really going to be out of capitalized upon your team comp at all 04:51:21.360 --> 04:51:26.200 Seems like Elevate Manus said guys, let's not change the attack at all. It's just full commit, right? 04:51:26.200 --> 04:51:28.000 It's not a matter of 04:51:28.000 --> 04:51:34.120 Changing away from it. We need to embrace it further because this screams 3 2 1 execute 04:51:34.960 --> 04:51:38.400 There is I would say less counters this kind of from team orc 04:51:38.400 --> 04:51:43.640 I don't have like the Goyo the Aruni set up, but they do have of course the shank and Mira toxic babes and smoke 04:51:43.640 --> 04:51:51.160 in iCalphine still needs a BGM, that's a huge pick, it's atv to the last, you lose some crossfire, 04:51:51.160 --> 04:51:55.960 lose some map control and that is going to work much stronger in your favor when you have this 04:51:55.960 --> 04:52:04.360 kind of attacking line that wants to get in your face. That's right. It's crazy, execute focus 04:52:04.360 --> 04:52:10.800 line up, only works better when you have a numbers advantage. Okay, they like to try and make the 04:52:10.800 --> 04:52:15.760 fight early there, happy to try and fight desperately. Oh, Momo just walks straight past the player. 04:52:16.960 --> 04:52:21.280 Exalotic's found one and then the attempt at the refrag is covered off by Peebs, 04:52:21.280 --> 04:52:24.880 went from a five versus four to now a two versus three. 04:52:24.880 --> 04:52:29.360 Anachronade misses, a second one goes through. It does catch Exalotic, but he survives. 04:52:30.080 --> 04:52:34.880 The fire has brought him enough time to go in for the pistol kill. The machine pistol finds the 04:52:34.880 --> 04:52:39.200 head but he dies to the shotgun at the same time. Barcode in the 1v2. 04:52:41.040 --> 04:52:47.440 Outside the building, only way in is a prone breach or window vault. It's both giving a hell 04:52:47.440 --> 04:52:53.360 of a long sound cue. It can be heard from all the way across the bomb site. No more toxic babes. 04:52:53.360 --> 04:52:57.520 The team orchid relying on crossfires and playing closely together but look at the outlines. 04:52:57.520 --> 04:53:03.280 They're doing exactly that posted up on the same angle watching the same spot on the side itself. 04:53:03.280 --> 04:53:06.580 And now with the breach, he's gonna confirm his exact location. 04:53:06.580 --> 04:53:09.580 Again, either he walks in the breach, jumps in the window, 04:53:09.580 --> 04:53:10.980 or he has a rotate around the building. 04:53:10.980 --> 04:53:12.880 They're gonna know where he's going. 04:53:12.880 --> 04:53:14.280 Nice, looking at a mirror window as well. 04:53:14.280 --> 04:53:15.480 He has no idea. 04:53:15.480 --> 04:53:18.180 And Critchey just eagerly swings him as well. 04:53:18.180 --> 04:53:20.280 An unnecessary risk to take. 04:53:20.280 --> 04:53:22.480 But when he wins the fight, you can't criticize him. 04:53:22.480 --> 04:53:23.880 That's Critchey for you. 04:53:23.880 --> 04:53:26.180 Team Orchid, three defences in a row. 04:53:26.180 --> 04:53:28.080 They have the second half on lock. 04:53:28.080 --> 04:53:29.180 Pengu, and you know what? 04:53:29.180 --> 04:53:30.880 That gives them its match point. 04:53:33.280 --> 04:53:36.640 I don't know what to ban if you're a little bit. 04:53:36.640 --> 04:53:40.960 I feel like there's four, maybe just a mirror, but there are four obstacles in your path 04:53:40.960 --> 04:53:45.480 and removing one of them is not going to make a ton of difference necessarily. 04:53:45.480 --> 04:53:50.440 If you're a team or a kid, you could target ban the ying or the glass, just because only 04:53:50.440 --> 04:53:54.760 warden can fight back against it, other than that, but I'm not entirely certain. 04:53:54.760 --> 04:53:56.240 Oh, Deimos is actually pretty good. 04:53:56.240 --> 04:53:57.760 Smoke ban is unique. 04:53:57.760 --> 04:53:58.760 Okay. 04:53:58.760 --> 04:54:01.920 No, that makes sense. 04:54:01.920 --> 04:54:08.920 So Deimos is tracking the roaming and thanking the utility for the frag remade set, and Smoke is like Simons of Sanger, right? 04:54:08.920 --> 04:54:12.920 It's like it's sourced up all these pushing points, but it's not so common to play them to Sanger. 04:54:12.920 --> 04:54:13.920 Yeah, I like that. 04:54:15.920 --> 04:54:20.920 No, give massive credit to the way that Orc can play that defense. So many layers of it, and... 04:54:21.920 --> 04:54:26.920 Yeah, I love that they smoke Anarchank together, right? You doubled down. I've even had... No, they didn't have Goyle at that round. 04:54:26.920 --> 04:54:32.820 smoke and a tanker together and then Azami and Mira together. It's like, dude, I don't 04:54:32.820 --> 04:54:37.320 care how many yings and glasses and shields you've got, you're going to get stored the 04:54:37.320 --> 04:54:43.520 hell out. It is a hard thing to do to attack in with an execute focus lineup when you have 04:54:43.520 --> 04:54:48.160 all these anti-execute operators. And elevate, look, they've tried three times now. They 04:54:48.160 --> 04:54:53.920 just could not find any momentum on this attacking side. And it's not because they're not fragging, 04:54:53.920 --> 04:54:59.720 I mean barcode and then highcal have both broken double digits, which nobody from team orchid has done by the way 04:55:00.440 --> 04:55:05.460 But it's not about the scoreboard in terms of your kills about the round cap 04:55:06.240 --> 04:55:08.240 Team orchid won twice as many rounds. I 04:55:09.280 --> 04:55:10.780 Mean, it's also been 04:55:10.780 --> 04:55:15.920 See more good besides beachy man winning two separate classes mind you had back on the other way 04:55:16.520 --> 04:55:20.240 We're gonna fire four and favorite elevate right so that could very easily have been the case 04:55:20.240 --> 04:55:25.960 But it's been Team Orchid playing as a team. Everyone working together. Crossfires. 04:55:25.960 --> 04:55:30.580 Nobody's playing the sacrificial lamb and getting sacrificed. If somebody say, 04:55:30.580 --> 04:55:34.840 oh, you're in a bad position, let me make it stronger. And then we can play together. 04:55:34.840 --> 04:55:41.440 So they're not cutting their losses. They're faultifying their positions. Now in the late, 04:55:41.440 --> 04:55:45.400 they've gone through a couple different operators. Joe Garnes on a snake dead to a shocker from 04:55:45.400 --> 04:55:51.480 piece very early on once more, making this room clear. More impossible. Yes they got a few shield 04:55:51.480 --> 04:55:57.400 on barcode, but that's again not as easy to play as a Monty, not as safe. And I count again 04:55:57.400 --> 04:56:03.640 favorited damage on the Capitao, and they're getting fought vertically, horizontally, with Gatchet. 04:56:03.640 --> 04:56:07.320 It feels like they're a little bit just locked out of the round completely. They don't have soft 04:56:07.320 --> 04:56:12.200 destruction, so they can't break the soft wall. In fact they have no hard breach either. 04:56:12.200 --> 04:56:19.480 either Fuse or Capita or Cannon Openers. So it's just the Selma of Asus that wrote it over Mushibe and they should have walked it up. 04:56:23.800 --> 04:56:27.240 But of course it's just more layers of defense, more layers of hard breach. 04:56:27.240 --> 04:56:28.920 Yeah, this isn't the site, right? 04:56:28.920 --> 04:56:33.320 Like you said, this isn't the site, and then they can breach the next wall of the furnace, which is also not the site. 04:56:33.320 --> 04:56:35.320 And they now have no hard breach anymore. 04:56:35.320 --> 04:56:41.720 Yeah, and now they have no more hard breach. The Fuse is an uncommon pick, but it might clear out some new till, which I don't mind. 04:56:42.200 --> 04:56:44.200 Doesn't do everything. 04:56:44.200 --> 04:56:47.200 I'll tell you what, this air jab as well isn't perfect. 04:56:47.200 --> 04:56:51.200 Ooh, that's only a line of sight into furnace as well. 04:56:51.200 --> 04:56:58.200 The doors, they gotta walk in the door with two smokes, four flashmills and a cap of fire and somehow cook up a round victory. 04:56:58.200 --> 04:57:03.200 Meanwhile, Peach is lurking above on the verge, can drop the hatch and go for a flank. 04:57:03.200 --> 04:57:08.200 He does that, he gets a kill but doesn't drop the hatch and the pressure is still above them continuously. 04:57:08.200 --> 04:57:22.200 Yeah, just continuing to toy with them. Shoot drones. Waste time. He doesn't even need to flank, right? 5v3. You don't need to make a move. And yet he's going to find a kill. Anyway, MoMo goes down. The round is surely over. 04:57:22.200 --> 04:57:27.980 He's I gotta say he's earned his place on this roster nine kills make it ten 04:57:28.140 --> 04:57:35.060 No, not to be she may takes him down to v4 now 30 seconds left to play she may needs to go big 04:57:35.060 --> 04:57:38.340 That's a great little bit of fire there from Enhicah and can't here, but you're right 04:57:38.340 --> 04:57:40.620 You can't plant here. That's a little bit of a mistake 04:57:41.060 --> 04:57:46.420 Elevate haven't played enough attacks on this bomb site to know it properly and even exile lot of getting a team kill 04:57:46.420 --> 04:57:52.020 won't matter unless an N-High Cal can do the impossible task of clutching a 1v2. 04:57:52.020 --> 04:57:56.020 Doesn't even have time to pick up Shibae and is walking straight into the 04:57:56.020 --> 04:58:01.300 waiting arms of the fire on the bomb side. It's a quick close from Team Orchid 04:58:01.300 --> 04:58:06.900 and a clean sweep on their defensive fortress. Good half comes out in the 04:58:06.900 --> 04:58:13.900 chat and it looks like it's up to elevate to bring it back on Consulate. 04:58:36.900 --> 04:58:56.900 and 04:58:56.900 --> 04:59:01.900 I got a lot of training because I don't have to worry about the background anymore. 04:59:01.900 --> 04:59:03.900 I don't have to do anything myself. 04:59:03.900 --> 04:59:07.900 I focus more on the writing, time, and training. 04:59:07.900 --> 04:59:12.900 And the team has changed the style of the team. 04:59:12.900 --> 04:59:14.900 It's a lot more complicated. 04:59:14.900 --> 04:59:18.900 I got more training during the afternoon and in the morning. 04:59:18.900 --> 04:59:22.900 It makes me think that our team will be more consistent. 04:59:22.900 --> 04:59:32.300 But the truth is, in the first few lines that I had with Fiori, I didn't really get to know how many times I lost to them. 04:59:32.300 --> 04:59:37.900 I lost to them in the first few lines, so I had to change a lot of things. 04:59:37.900 --> 04:59:44.900 And while I was playing for Fiori since the beginning and while I was playing, 04:59:44.900 --> 04:59:50.900 I had a problem with the team. 04:59:50.900 --> 04:59:55.900 I didn't talk much, so I kept it to myself. 04:59:55.900 --> 04:59:59.500 I hope that the problem will be solved by my dad. 04:59:59.500 --> 05:00:03.100 In the past, my dad was a deaf, a smart guy, 05:00:03.100 --> 05:00:05.900 and I had to pass the exam. 05:00:05.900 --> 05:00:10.300 I asked him to find a doctor, because he had a condition, 05:00:10.300 --> 05:00:12.100 he said he had a heart attack, 05:00:12.100 --> 05:00:16.100 and he started to feel bad about the exam. 05:00:16.100 --> 05:00:25.860 I can cut it off, but there's a little bit of a problem, but it's still safe. 05:00:25.860 --> 05:00:37.980 But there's a side effect, which is that the body on the left is not too strong, but it's soft, so it makes the person have to sleep in the room. 05:00:37.980 --> 05:00:41.780 And if you want him to come back, you have to bend the body. 05:00:41.780 --> 05:00:51.460 I have to look after my dad at home because he doesn't have time to work. 05:00:51.460 --> 05:00:56.740 I have to practice at home so I can take care of my dad and practice. 05:00:56.740 --> 05:01:00.700 It's a time in my life that I'm tired. 05:01:00.700 --> 05:01:05.620 I practice a lot and I have to improve my team. 05:01:05.620 --> 05:01:10.260 I got a new line-up that I got from I9 and BGMAN. 05:01:10.260 --> 05:01:16.860 Meanwhile, I trained with the team and took care of my dad. 05:01:16.860 --> 05:01:21.580 And in the second stage of the year, 05:01:21.580 --> 05:01:24.060 when I was an INI with BGMAN to help me, 05:01:24.060 --> 05:01:26.700 I did a better job. 05:01:26.700 --> 05:01:29.420 And in the last stage of the year, 05:01:29.420 --> 05:01:34.220 I had to say that my dream came true. 05:01:34.220 --> 05:01:37.420 I was able to compete in the Major. 05:01:37.420 --> 05:01:45.620 The sad thing about that year was that before that year, my father passed away. 05:01:45.620 --> 05:01:50.460 He was hurt by a child who was a teacher in the school district. 05:01:50.460 --> 05:01:57.420 It was a hard picture that he probably wouldn't wait and was happy. 05:01:57.420 --> 05:02:00.540 And when it really came to that, I was still sad. 05:02:00.540 --> 05:02:03.980 I don't think I was really in a good mood. 05:02:03.980 --> 05:02:09.260 I'm not very good at this, but I'm very satisfied. 05:02:09.260 --> 05:02:14.100 While I'm taking care of myself, I'm not very good at it. 05:02:14.100 --> 05:02:17.780 I'm not very good at this, but I'm very satisfied. 05:02:17.780 --> 05:02:23.220 I'm very satisfied with this. 05:02:23.220 --> 05:02:30.020 I'm very satisfied with this. 05:05:03.980 --> 05:05:18.560 I was a very competitive first half with Elevate firing pretty well on their defensive side, 05:05:18.560 --> 05:05:25.160 Orc with a masterclass with the Monty, but as soon as we swapped sides, Pingu, Elevate 05:05:25.160 --> 05:05:31.280 could not have the same level of excellence that Orc had on that attacking side, and Orc 05:05:31.280 --> 05:05:35.560 could just run away with it a very convincing 7-3 at the end of Fortress 05:05:35.560 --> 05:05:40.440 puts Elevate in dire straits come Consulate. And this was the thing that 05:05:40.440 --> 05:05:44.160 the great analyst has talked about before the game started, right? The map 05:05:44.160 --> 05:05:49.520 veto heavily leads into how competent is the team going to be on the attacking 05:05:49.520 --> 05:05:53.920 side because we are going to vary defender favorite maps. So if you don't 05:05:53.920 --> 05:05:58.200 get a couple of attack rounds on the board, you'll just fall because you have to 05:05:58.200 --> 05:06:01.400 weaker side or it can show us that they could do both things they could do 05:06:01.400 --> 05:06:05.280 attacking at a level that was acceptable they got the rounds that they needed but 05:06:05.280 --> 05:06:08.720 then they were locked in a little bit out when they got onto the defensive side 05:06:08.720 --> 05:06:13.720 showing them how hard it actually is to attack this map. Yeah wow look at PgMan's 05:06:13.720 --> 05:06:19.480 reaction to winning that one. Let's have a look at the stats across the two teams. 05:06:19.480 --> 05:06:23.360 I mean this is just of course for the whole match. The big one that I really 05:06:23.360 --> 05:06:28.720 notice is look at how we yeah well I want to compare entry obviously it's 05:06:28.720 --> 05:06:33.320 only what like a 25% difference here or could have just 10 more kills and 05:06:33.320 --> 05:06:38.000 elevate but the entry kills they have four times as many entry kills as 05:06:38.000 --> 05:06:43.960 elevate to yeah I mean it tells the story and I think the big thing is from 05:06:43.960 --> 05:06:47.680 looking at interkill you can say okay Jim I can have way more into kills but 05:06:47.680 --> 05:06:51.000 what if a little bit gotta kill five seconds later then that interkill is 05:06:51.000 --> 05:06:54.480 kind of nullified, right? That's not what happened. Well, Team Ogre would get the 05:06:54.480 --> 05:06:59.120 intro kill and they would maintain that numbers advantage almost the entire 05:06:59.120 --> 05:07:03.840 round. If not, basically the entire round. Just wind around at the end of it. There 05:07:03.840 --> 05:07:06.840 are so many moments where they get an early kill, they just refuse to die afterwards. 05:07:06.840 --> 05:07:10.920 Yeah, yeah, for sure. I'm just thinking back to that clip that we saw when we were 05:07:10.920 --> 05:07:15.000 looking at the replays from the match and BG man's crazy reaction. I'm looking 05:07:15.000 --> 05:07:20.160 back at my notes and actually BG man got two clutches in that game. There was 05:07:20.160 --> 05:07:27.060 Yeah, 1v1 and a 1v2 and the 1v2 was when he actually directly traded with I think it was an high Cal and technically 05:07:27.060 --> 05:07:28.760 No players will have to live in the server 05:07:28.760 --> 05:07:34.160 But obviously by default that gives the defense team the win speaking of defense like you said 05:07:34.160 --> 05:07:39.420 That's been pretty much the story of the map veto next up. We go to conceal it 05:07:40.080 --> 05:07:45.040 Are we gonna see any more success for elevate here, especially considering? 05:07:45.400 --> 05:07:49.880 They start on the attacking side. They haven't won attack around at all so far 05:07:50.160 --> 05:07:57.160 in this series, I feel like Orcid are gonna be, I don't know, I have a lot of confidence for them to come to the console. 05:07:57.160 --> 05:08:02.160 I think Team Orcid's playstyle is so excellently fitting the map veto. 05:08:02.160 --> 05:08:06.160 They've done a great job of getting the maps that they really like playing and they excel at. 05:08:06.160 --> 05:08:12.160 I will say that Constra obviously being a lesser new map than Fortress is gonna mean that the attack inside, while it is difficult, 05:08:12.160 --> 05:08:16.160 you're gonna have more experience, more options, and knowing Elevate, knowing the players, 05:08:16.160 --> 05:08:22.000 They're probably gonna have some pocket stress that are gonna hit them. You know that one or that second attack around 05:08:22.000 --> 05:08:25.200 So my question is will they get one two or three attacks? 05:08:25.280 --> 05:08:31.880 And the question is how solid other defenses because that's my biggest problem if they fall apart on defense after meeting those couple of 05:08:31.880 --> 05:08:36.440 Second rounds, they're still gonna lose the market and we also consider this elevate will bend them on T 05:08:36.440 --> 05:08:40.000 No matter what when they're on the different side, that has to happen 05:08:40.320 --> 05:08:44.920 That's just straight up step one if you're elevate anything from map one 05:08:44.920 --> 05:08:50.920 the game. We're going to be 05:08:50.980 --> 05:08:53.920 going to get Monty out of like 05:08:53.980 --> 05:08:55.920 Colossus hands like Colossus 05:08:55.980 --> 05:08:57.020 been one of heroes of a fact 05:08:57.080 --> 05:08:58.920 for such a long time, and he's 05:08:58.980 --> 05:09:00.920 going to return to a major of 05:09:00.980 --> 05:09:02.920 course. Both of these teams 05:09:02.980 --> 05:09:03.920 have a couple of games yet 05:09:03.980 --> 05:09:05.920 between now and then 05:09:05.980 --> 05:09:06.920 qualifying for Salt Lake City. 05:09:06.980 --> 05:09:08.920 If either of them are to make 05:09:08.980 --> 05:09:10.920 it. But surviving here means 05:09:10.980 --> 05:09:12.920 everything. It means staying 05:09:12.980 --> 05:09:13.920 in the upper bracket and of 05:09:13.920 --> 05:09:20.080 will qualify directly through to the Salt Lake City Major. Consulate is all that stands in Team 05:09:20.080 --> 05:09:23.360 Orchid's way. Let's see if they can get it done here on map number two. 05:09:26.080 --> 05:09:31.040 This is going to be a Toshanga smoke ban. It's in a couple of teams now experimenting with this 05:09:31.040 --> 05:09:38.720 duo. It enables fast takes, it buys your time in the early stage, and the only way to substitute 05:09:38.720 --> 05:09:43.600 these two operators in terms of the counter pick would be Goryo. But Goryo is a pretty 05:09:43.600 --> 05:09:48.880 determined position gadget so you can just twist on it, grenade it, and then you kind of you dealt 05:09:48.880 --> 05:09:53.840 with it and you've lost on it. It's not a matter of the holding it in pocket waiting for the perfect 05:09:53.840 --> 05:10:00.560 time to strike. Those are very good guys being at denial. In more detail response they banned the 05:10:00.560 --> 05:10:06.240 Grim and the Ying so they're giving full shield operator control and again look at this first 05:10:06.240 --> 05:10:13.120 bomb site we're going to the split archives and tellers as site that we can see a couple of games 05:10:13.120 --> 05:10:19.360 a consulate and no team will pick it. Here is the very first one. It's again showing us Team Orchid, 05:10:19.360 --> 05:10:24.640 how much prep work they have going into these maps and how much counterpick potential they've been 05:10:24.640 --> 05:10:30.000 building around it. Because let's see expecting that again, shields, aggression, pocket strut from 05:10:30.000 --> 05:10:34.080 Elevate. How are they gonna do that here? Yeah. You almost never get to play it and secondly, 05:10:34.080 --> 05:10:38.720 they got poles, they got doubles in four, they have solace, they can't go for a plant. So they're 05:10:38.720 --> 05:10:43.920 forcing elevators taking map control, 3, 2, 1 step, or 1, 2, 3 step executes and 05:10:43.920 --> 05:10:48.080 playing for killers. So they're almost forcing elevators hand by playing the 05:10:48.080 --> 05:10:52.760 strat on this bomb site. It's funny because you know I put the first guy to say 05:10:52.760 --> 05:10:57.600 hey I love it when I see it to check the smoke map but you know they're not 05:10:57.600 --> 05:11:01.680 gonna get freaked out by it like you said they're like you would want to go for a 05:11:01.680 --> 05:11:05.000 CEO execute that's fine and let's just pick like the least popular bomb site on 05:11:05.000 --> 05:11:09.260 Let's just throw a complete curveball. Let's just have pulse and 05:11:09.900 --> 05:11:13.620 Solace and go through all these vertical plays. It's just yeah 05:11:13.620 --> 05:11:17.680 It's what we come to expect from such an experienced team and look I'll be honest as well 05:11:17.720 --> 05:11:22.500 When I ever I see like a roster change made in a team. I always get a little bit scared 05:11:22.980 --> 05:11:29.980 The team orchid obviously they lost dark who stayed with fury when they moved to the team orchid roster and in the past 05:11:29.980 --> 05:11:35.760 They also lost i9 who went over to souls heart now i9 in particular superstar player in Asia 05:11:35.760 --> 05:11:38.340 one of the best type players that we've seen ever and 05:11:39.060 --> 05:11:45.620 For him to leave like you need someone to step up into those shoes and just really have been happy with peeps 05:11:45.620 --> 05:11:49.500 I think he's been yeah much better in the last couple of playdays 05:11:49.540 --> 05:11:56.460 We've seen some good frag capability. He's exactly what orchid means now and hi Cal finds the first kill finally enough peeps 05:11:56.460 --> 05:11:58.980 Also goes down. It's gonna be a complete feed here. Yeah, it is 05:11:59.980 --> 05:12:05.540 doing. I love that we keep praising Orchid and then they just absolutely crap the bed. 05:12:05.540 --> 05:12:10.220 It's just Exile Lottic and Crit J left after a phenomenal style from Elevate that they 05:12:10.220 --> 05:12:13.300 really should close out pretty easily. 05:12:13.300 --> 05:12:18.620 They're forcing a couple of unnecessary gunfights there, particularly the post shotgun into a 05:12:18.620 --> 05:12:24.460 50 meter range gunfight, but you know what, sometimes it is what it is. Elevate had the 05:12:24.460 --> 05:12:28.220 commies to walk down the staircase, attack the bomb site horizontally and just win 05:12:28.220 --> 05:12:31.340 there once but I do think tomorrow they're gonna have a discussion here 05:12:31.340 --> 05:12:34.620 saying guys that was not the the strat that we planned that was not how we 05:12:34.620 --> 05:12:38.580 intended for it to go but whether they go back or not we'll see in the future 05:12:38.580 --> 05:12:41.540 for now it's X-Lot or you can create Jace a little on for this round they can clutch 05:12:41.540 --> 05:12:44.060 when a plan is being attempted and they have almost no pet in the mouth have a 05:12:44.060 --> 05:12:51.940 pretty overbought just in time you managed to land the shot however it's 05:12:51.940 --> 05:12:56.780 now a 1v3 job not done gets the down on the shebang this would be everything 05:12:56.780 --> 05:13:02.660 the critchey. Does he have the info? He spots out, funnily enough it's the lion down below 05:13:02.660 --> 05:13:08.460 that he actually gets the angle on too. Doesn't see the planter, misses the chance, and unfortunately 05:13:08.460 --> 05:13:12.340 that 7 second window has now elapsed. The plant's gone down, the shotgun comes out, he 05:13:12.340 --> 05:13:17.580 has to decide whether to take these fights vertically or horizontally. Just the SMG-11 05:13:17.580 --> 05:13:23.620 for the long range fights up against an M4 and a 417 DMR. It's not easy. N-High-Cal has 05:13:23.620 --> 05:13:27.620 the first attack round in the 05:13:27.620 --> 05:13:29.620 series. It's actually a bit of 05:13:29.620 --> 05:13:30.620 a shame there for creature 05:13:30.620 --> 05:13:32.620 because I feel like he had to 05:13:32.620 --> 05:13:34.620 play and played it so well. He 05:13:34.620 --> 05:13:35.620 just expected the plan to get 05:13:35.620 --> 05:13:36.620 all fit when the impact on 05:13:36.620 --> 05:13:37.620 instructed ceiling or just 05:13:37.620 --> 05:13:38.620 simply just didn't see that he 05:13:38.620 --> 05:13:39.620 was taking it himself. There 05:13:39.620 --> 05:13:41.620 could have been a huge clutch. 05:13:41.620 --> 05:13:43.620 Well, so what kind of shame 05:13:43.620 --> 05:13:44.620 would it be for elevated every 05:13:44.620 --> 05:13:46.620 time to do a really good job? 05:13:46.620 --> 05:13:47.620 It's like B2 made a critical 05:13:47.620 --> 05:13:48.620 clutching up against the 05:13:48.620 --> 05:13:49.620 enemy. I mean, it's a good 05:13:49.620 --> 05:13:50.620 job. It's a good job. It's a 05:13:50.620 --> 05:13:54.940 do a really good job. It's like B3 made a critical touch up against him and is stealing back the round. 05:13:54.940 --> 05:13:58.060 So, in fact, I'm gonna win the 4v1, you know? 05:13:58.060 --> 05:14:01.020 You can wipe your forehead with sweat and say, 05:14:01.020 --> 05:14:04.380 guys, don't worry about it, we got the round, we can play the next one. 05:14:04.380 --> 05:14:08.780 Don't even start dwelling on the used 1v1, so you missed a P or nobody joined 12-4. 05:14:08.780 --> 05:14:11.180 I could just play the next round. It was a victory. 05:14:12.300 --> 05:14:17.180 What I would say, though, Pengu, is even though Orc could obviously lost that round very convincingly, 05:14:17.180 --> 05:14:22.380 probably look at that and you say well we kind of just over swung you could 05:14:22.380 --> 05:14:26.940 probably go back to that same bombsite later on a real set if orchid is so 05:14:26.940 --> 05:14:30.860 stubborn that they don't ever want to play the top floor they don't need to 05:14:30.860 --> 05:14:35.780 elevate clearly banned janker and smoke so they could go for CEO executes that's 05:14:35.780 --> 05:14:41.180 the reason you do that but orchid they don't need to give elevate the 05:14:41.180 --> 05:14:45.420 opportunity to capitalize on those bands they keep playing around and you know 05:14:45.420 --> 05:14:52.200 There's plenty other operators that have been left in because Elevate have committed to these two unusual bands and one of those is Mera 05:14:52.500 --> 05:14:56.220 Mera is so powerful on this basement on garage 05:14:56.620 --> 05:15:01.420 It's so hard to execute unless if you kill that mirror vertically. So 05:15:01.980 --> 05:15:04.580 Orchid set up mirrors on site go through a run 05:15:05.220 --> 05:15:12.060 Yeah, that's it. You gotta defend them. I see yourself in a rain that people picked a miracle. Ha ha ha my bomb site is mine 05:15:12.060 --> 05:15:18.500 No roaming presence you go into a piano mirror windows gone, and then it's like oh now the bombsite is vulnerable 05:15:18.500 --> 05:15:21.300 What do we do now guys, and they just kind of lose the round yeah, so 05:15:23.260 --> 05:15:26.520 Layer things but that's what all guys look good at a little bit of going fast 05:15:26.520 --> 05:15:31.540 And look at this. Yes, the user down tell her into v say that's the bombs on holy the mirror with it on face 05:15:31.540 --> 05:15:34.220 Disturption game. Oh my god double kill 05:15:34.980 --> 05:15:37.060 Fargo straight into the bombsite looks for a third one 05:15:37.060 --> 05:15:41.180 He goes down, but the diffuser is in the bombsite now beachy mad low HP as well 05:15:41.180 --> 05:15:47.020 Wow, what an angle for him to play up against the ramp. It's a full pivot now for Elevate. 05:15:47.020 --> 05:15:52.380 They're not going to over commit to going for a vertical take. Now the plan actually can be denied 05:15:52.380 --> 05:15:56.540 at a lot of places from above here and Orc could still have top floor control. 05:15:58.060 --> 05:16:02.060 Jogo just needs to let a single bullet bitchy man will fall. Finally he does. 05:16:03.100 --> 05:16:09.740 And a shotgun for peeps though, to retake yellow stairs. But now he's locked out of the bomb site 05:16:09.740 --> 05:16:11.740 Thanks to the Goyo fire 05:16:12.140 --> 05:16:17.660 Elevate have the bomb side control that they've been looking for. Oh, I don't know how critching I managed to win that fight 05:16:17.660 --> 05:16:21.780 2v2 in the retake. I have to admit this looks achievable for Orchid 05:16:23.180 --> 05:16:27.980 The last thing is down to peeves not on the cash flow exactly right here. It's not gonna open the softwares earlier 05:16:27.980 --> 05:16:32.820 But he gets the kill both fairs have his piece. He's born pock and he doesn't from your position 05:16:34.300 --> 05:16:36.300 He has info 05:16:36.540 --> 05:16:38.540 Nitro cell available 05:16:38.540 --> 05:16:40.540 Smashers the mirror 05:16:40.980 --> 05:16:45.820 Knees to isolate these positions great nitro cell that tells him what's clear spots him 05:16:46.180 --> 05:16:52.100 For a brief moment, but peaks doesn't have time. He's just gonna have to commit to it now and high cal 05:16:52.380 --> 05:16:57.180 If you slowly start pushing forward. Oh my god. He's just done it 05:16:57.580 --> 05:16:59.020 He's got it 05:16:59.020 --> 05:17:03.940 Tell me he's got it. He commits to the spray for the wall and he wins the round 05:17:03.940 --> 05:17:11.020 The new kid on the block is cold, hard, and fast in the clutch. 05:17:11.020 --> 05:17:16.740 Peeps has just stolen the round from Elevate. 05:17:16.740 --> 05:17:24.980 Less than half a second, he stalked for just as long as he could to fully bait it out, 05:17:24.980 --> 05:17:30.780 sprint over wallbang prefire, confirm the final kill, and hop straight back onto it 05:17:30.780 --> 05:17:33.780 with zero hesitation. 05:17:33.780 --> 05:17:39.940 you this is the round where elevator rushed the bomb slide from teller's archives back portion 05:17:39.940 --> 05:17:46.100 they circumvented the entire setup all the mirror windows got two opening kills had the backstab 05:17:46.100 --> 05:17:55.300 are on level 4 it was a 5v3 into a 4v2 and somehow still orchid clutches back up and 05:17:55.300 --> 05:18:01.860 where the first round played out was a 4v1 turned into a very close one versus two so the rounds 05:18:01.860 --> 05:18:08.860 And if they're out of the beat of winning, they're very close, and if they're out of the beat of winning, they lose because Orc kick clutches. 05:18:08.860 --> 05:18:20.860 This means that it's so hard for Elevate to win a single round in this matchup, and it's why Fortress was such a hard-fought game for Elevate, when they were barely getting rounds. 05:18:20.860 --> 05:18:26.860 Put it bluntly, thank you. Win the round, lose the round, Thosamata Elevate is shooting themselves out of the way right now. 05:18:26.860 --> 05:18:30.860 when you're going up against this level of clutch ability from Orcid. 05:18:56.860 --> 05:19:02.060 to mental boom and i can bleed into everybody else's mindset so right now for elevate it's more 05:19:02.060 --> 05:19:07.500 of a mental game than anything else is staying back into this this is some of the wildest in ours 05:19:07.500 --> 05:19:13.420 it also saying holy crap yeah they got lasers dude yeah all right where's Tom Cruise when you need him 05:19:18.300 --> 05:19:23.020 and there's uh no real counterplay right i mean they got throwable utility smokes 05:19:23.020 --> 05:19:28.780 nade in peace but like there's no twitch there's no floors there's no easy way to clear this so 05:19:28.780 --> 05:19:34.140 either they gotta chuck in some nades and just kind of try and get the most out of it i think 05:19:34.140 --> 05:19:36.460 because you surely can't walk through this door you'll die 05:19:41.900 --> 05:19:48.060 yeah try try the door see what happens yeah there you go yep couple of slugs the silent killer 05:19:48.060 --> 05:19:51.260 The suppressed slug shot here from Cripp Jay. That's a lot of damage. 05:19:51.260 --> 05:19:57.500 Man, how do you land one shot and deal as much damage as Momo did to him in two shots to the hand? 05:19:58.460 --> 05:20:03.820 Why are we... How even he hit him? It's beyond me. I didn't think he's from the angle actually fully, but I was wrong. 05:20:04.780 --> 05:20:08.460 And again, look at this. They're getting locked up. Blitz isn't spawned. 05:20:09.020 --> 05:20:12.060 Like they're so locked out. This is not the same guy for the strat. 05:20:12.060 --> 05:20:17.340 It's the same. Let's go fishing. Yuko main door, Yuko up and solo, Yuko visa window. 05:20:17.340 --> 05:20:21.100 Let's see what happens. And when a team calls that strat three rounds in, 05:20:21.100 --> 05:20:27.580 I'm starting to get a little bit nervous in the side of the elevator because I do not see a top-down strategy being called right now. 05:20:31.180 --> 05:20:37.740 Sledgehammer, Selma, a lot of gaping holes on the side, but orchid are so good with these gunfights. 05:20:37.740 --> 05:20:43.860 even peeps there doing a little bit on to Enhycal and again just keeping him at bay 05:20:43.860 --> 05:20:49.900 he also finds barcode so it doesn't matter how hard Elevate tried they just 05:20:49.900 --> 05:20:55.860 desperately contesting with these insane frags on the orchid side I got 05:20:55.860 --> 05:21:00.580 another down I'm done finally traded back by Enhycal 05:21:00.580 --> 05:21:05.700 Momo's still on the floor Exalotic might be able to be safe here by Critchey 05:21:05.700 --> 05:21:20.700 13 seconds to play, time for Elevator to focus up on the plant, but like Hollis is still in the site, he hasn't been dealt with, she may force off the plant, Nitro himself comes out, lands on his lap, and puts the round to bed for Team Walking to defences back to back. 05:21:20.700 --> 05:21:26.300 And it's again a very clutch round right this time peeps just kind of flowing in the bomb side 05:21:26.400 --> 05:21:31.220 Juking angles getting inters taking names and they still have the vertical control 05:21:31.720 --> 05:21:35.320 Elevate they're very linear and very direct in their current attacks 05:21:35.360 --> 05:21:41.500 Which means when they get the opening pick and when they can keep bulldozer in the bomb side like on that basement attack things go pretty 05:21:41.500 --> 05:21:47.240 Well, but the moment somebody dies loses one bad gunfight or gets flanked everything falls apart 05:21:47.240 --> 05:21:51.080 They have 2 people in Piano, Cabot Town and Loppy. 05:21:51.080 --> 05:21:54.920 If Cabot Town gets injured, which is what happened, there's no pressure anywhere on 05:21:54.920 --> 05:21:55.920 the map. 05:21:55.920 --> 05:21:59.480 And if they blitz a step side, then they can't plant at all, they have a guy stuck in Loppy. 05:21:59.480 --> 05:22:03.160 So there's really only one way for Elevate to win these rounds? 05:22:03.160 --> 05:22:04.960 That's if everything goes right. 05:22:04.960 --> 05:22:09.440 And obviously that can always happen, no matter what you are playing for, but it's certainly 05:22:09.440 --> 05:22:10.600 what's happening for Elevate. 05:22:10.600 --> 05:22:14.920 Because T-Market, they are doing so much work at stopping them in their tracks. 05:22:14.920 --> 05:22:19.680 You are right James, you mentioned the way these bombs had played out in rank 1 was no 05:22:19.680 --> 05:22:22.520 real indicator for how it should have played out. 05:22:22.520 --> 05:22:26.960 So they can go back there later on and probably win it with the same setup playing it slightly 05:22:26.960 --> 05:22:27.960 differently. 05:22:27.960 --> 05:22:31.600 They're going to do exactly that over a very important upgrade at target band. 05:22:31.600 --> 05:22:32.600 The solid snake. 05:22:32.600 --> 05:22:36.960 Because they use the solid snake to gain damage and all of that basement floor control, then 05:22:36.960 --> 05:22:39.880 scammer the defenders where, then they keep the site. 05:22:39.880 --> 05:22:41.200 That's going to be gone now. 05:22:41.200 --> 05:22:43.080 They don't have that opportunity. 05:22:43.080 --> 05:22:50.080 So this is a forcing elevator to go for a different attack, or do the same attack, but in a retro version. 05:22:50.080 --> 05:22:55.080 One of the best things about the Snake is how good he is when there's no one around. 05:22:55.080 --> 05:23:01.080 Obviously he seems powerful when you check your gadget, you see someone in the next room, you ping them, you take the fight, whatever. 05:23:01.080 --> 05:23:05.080 But I would argue he's actually even more powerful when you open the gadget and it says all clear. 05:23:05.080 --> 05:23:07.080 And you're like, oh, this room's clear, this room's clear. 05:23:07.080 --> 05:23:11.080 It's so bloody fast to take map control. 05:23:11.080 --> 05:23:16.200 And now Elevate are gonna have to double check triple check everything. All right, we don't have 05:23:16.840 --> 05:23:20.320 We haven't been good with the Monty, you know, we don't have the solid snake 05:23:20.560 --> 05:23:25.920 We're being fought everywhere with what a warrior about the solace on our drawings and the pulse 05:23:26.600 --> 05:23:29.400 Vertical and peeps just swinging everybody because he's that guy 05:23:29.920 --> 05:23:32.720 They already just damaged onto n high Cal 05:23:32.720 --> 05:23:34.720 And this is so desperate 05:23:34.720 --> 05:23:41.440 finished off in high-cow as well. Lot of damage on the Jogor and the confirmation with the shotgun from Crit J. 05:23:42.400 --> 05:23:49.960 Massive start for Team Orchid. They can fall back to site in the 5v3 and sit pretty knowing that Elevate have so much work to do ahead of them. 05:23:50.520 --> 05:23:52.680 Yeah, mind you. There's this Orchid playing 05:23:53.200 --> 05:23:59.760 practically into the attack. They've almost not done this a single time in fortress and like probably done it fully here in Consulate. 05:23:59.760 --> 05:24:06.660 So they're again changing the approach, saying they think we're gonna play by the bomb site and wait for them to come to us like before. 05:24:06.760 --> 05:24:12.460 No, no, we're getting active. And with this advantage, they can now sink peeps upstairs on alert flank. 05:24:12.560 --> 05:24:15.260 He's Habit P'Illa, he's not needed by the bomb site. 05:24:15.360 --> 05:24:21.560 Yeah, it's great having a gun for a crossfire, but he could get more value, just kind of being an issue elsewhere on the map. 05:24:21.660 --> 05:24:25.360 He's been hurt though, as seen by a drone, and he's being watched right now. 05:24:25.360 --> 05:24:31.360 They're going together by a good cover from Shibae. 05:24:31.360 --> 05:24:35.360 Elevator committing two out of their three players just for watching the flank, but Shibae 05:24:35.360 --> 05:24:38.360 finds both of them, brings their numbers back even again. 05:24:38.360 --> 05:24:43.360 It's actually, believe it or not, time to make this work for Elevate. 05:24:43.360 --> 05:24:46.360 There's still so much ground to take the bombsite. 05:24:46.360 --> 05:24:49.360 It's all the way down in Tellers and Servers. 05:24:49.360 --> 05:24:51.360 That was too much. 05:24:51.360 --> 05:24:54.360 I mean, Krije can stay by the bathroom wall, and then if you just hide with the Ele, 05:24:54.360 --> 05:24:58.360 with the Ella, Ram has to push you, then you get the 2v1 for example, but Cricket watch from the 05:24:58.360 --> 05:25:02.920 box, things fall apart. Sending two people for the flank is a very big investment because now 05:25:02.920 --> 05:25:08.600 you're back to even numbers as she mentioned, but they have two C4s, and Elevate, I don't think they 05:25:08.600 --> 05:25:12.760 can go for a default plant attempt, they don't have to drop a half to get the pressure downstairs 05:25:12.760 --> 05:25:17.560 while the C4s get rid and try and catch a good timing. It's very much the winnable for both teams, 05:25:17.560 --> 05:25:21.720 but I'm still giving this slight favor here to Orc because the timer is feeling quite a bit low. 05:25:21.720 --> 05:25:28.220 Pulse is up and there were two C4s. Now BGMann has blown his. XRLotic is so close to finding a kill here. 05:25:28.220 --> 05:25:33.720 And he does finish off Shiba very easily. Numbers now. Favour. Orchid. Elevate. 05:25:33.720 --> 05:25:37.720 After the side. Do we drop down the hatch or do we just wait and die? 05:25:37.720 --> 05:25:41.720 The pulse from down below while we try and plant. 05:25:41.720 --> 05:25:45.720 Lightcaller should surely be able to finish this off with a Nitro. Lot of damage on both players. 05:25:45.720 --> 05:25:51.220 It's fine. He's still got the shotgun and guess what? XRLotic can turn the corner. 05:25:51.220 --> 05:25:53.220 say quick hello it's like oh it's 05:25:53.220 --> 05:25:56.020 he finishes the kill Momo has nothing to 05:25:56.020 --> 05:25:58.500 do and orchid make it three rounds of 05:25:58.500 --> 05:26:02.620 defense in a row now let's just use my 05:26:02.620 --> 05:26:04.180 hindsight talk here for the fun of it 05:26:04.180 --> 05:26:05.540 right imagine that they don't flank at 05:26:05.540 --> 05:26:07.900 all and that's a 5v3 they have two more 05:26:07.900 --> 05:26:09.940 guns that can go for a flank late round 05:26:09.940 --> 05:26:12.540 watching the crossfires or whatever 05:26:12.540 --> 05:26:16.940 that round is a complete lockdown for 05:26:16.940 --> 05:26:18.820 Team Orchid but because I want to get a 05:26:18.820 --> 05:26:20.140 bit funny with that flank and say 05:26:20.140 --> 05:26:27.260 they will risk it. It becomes close, but they still have really good foresight. They don't 05:26:27.260 --> 05:26:33.580 start flanking with the castle of Exalotic until the plant is going down a second time 05:26:33.580 --> 05:26:38.620 after throwing the C4. It is the last resort. And the reason why the flanger is the last 05:26:38.620 --> 05:26:43.860 resort is because it's risky. If you flank before the C4, what if Ram is watching it? 05:26:43.860 --> 05:26:48.740 Then it's 2v2. They send you to C4 after. Now they're 2v2 around the C4. Now the plant 05:26:48.740 --> 05:26:53.740 can actually come down. So it's really important the order of which team Orca to make in these 05:26:53.740 --> 05:26:59.180 plays because that makes the whole difference. They're not making the high risk play until 05:26:59.180 --> 05:27:02.500 they have no other option. That's a very smart way of playing the game. 05:27:02.500 --> 05:27:10.780 Well let's flip it and tow my elevator for a second. They are so confident in their plan 05:27:10.780 --> 05:27:15.820 every now and then. Top floor them, use that blitz, let's get around it. Oh I lost one 05:27:15.820 --> 05:27:22.420 Gunfight. Oh, I just got double impacted and now I'm dead on the blitz. No cut. There is no Anvil to the hammer 05:27:23.460 --> 05:27:25.220 As a result 05:27:25.220 --> 05:27:31.560 They just hang up as a 3v5 around. It's pretty much as you say already locked down for all kids so early on 05:27:32.140 --> 05:27:35.620 Now we go into the second last round of the half and guess what thank you 05:27:35.620 --> 05:27:38.620 There's white the tank is smoke man, and now the Goyo bad as well 05:27:38.620 --> 05:27:44.820 It's literally a triple ban onto the same roll. Well nice run out onto barcode by the way 05:27:44.820 --> 05:27:52.820 Triple Bands to try and prevent and execute onto the CEO and they're not even going to pick CEO. 05:27:52.820 --> 05:27:56.820 This is surely a second kill for Crit J. I back him into this fight every day of the week. 05:27:56.820 --> 05:27:59.820 See you later, Sheba. Another 5v3 for Orcid. 05:27:59.820 --> 05:28:01.820 It feels all too familiar. 05:28:01.820 --> 05:28:05.820 And while there's eventually a trade, the damage has been done. 05:28:05.820 --> 05:28:09.820 Absolutely. Mentally and physically in the server. 05:28:09.820 --> 05:28:11.820 And you're right. It's so smart. 05:28:11.820 --> 05:28:15.740 don't play top floor bombs that because with these over the bands it is practically unplayable 05:28:15.740 --> 05:28:19.260 so actually you don't have like any way to really deny the plan to reliably because it 05:28:19.260 --> 05:28:24.300 will capture and then you can see forward and it's over so again good force I could prep work 05:28:24.300 --> 05:28:29.820 but this is again a little bit of ego challenge in the server no need to swing deep into yellow 05:28:29.820 --> 05:28:35.180 floor in the basement when you got a 4v3 mirror windows that's unnecessary uh-oh we get the kill 05:28:35.180 --> 05:28:37.180 It's okay, but if you lose... 05:28:37.180 --> 05:28:38.180 Uh-oh! 05:28:41.180 --> 05:28:45.180 Boys, this was a 5v3, and you had 3 C4s on the bomb site. 05:28:45.180 --> 05:28:46.180 Yep. 05:28:46.180 --> 05:28:50.180 You said Ego, and it really summarizes it perfectly. 05:28:50.180 --> 05:28:52.180 There's no way that Elevate should now lose this. 05:28:52.180 --> 05:28:57.180 XR-Lotic, a one-speed operator, makes a hell of a noise on his flank, but you're right. 05:28:57.180 --> 05:29:00.180 He does have to move, and he has to do it pretty quickly. 05:29:01.180 --> 05:29:04.180 He's probably gonna get the timing on at least one here. 05:29:04.180 --> 05:29:06.840 But what does he do after he finds his first kill? 05:29:06.840 --> 05:29:09.180 Sports 1. Double kill! 05:29:09.180 --> 05:29:14.680 Exalonic has made it a 1v1 and Hical now has to try and capitalize. 05:29:15.180 --> 05:29:18.180 But he doesn't have the chance to before Exalonic gets back to the side. 05:29:18.180 --> 05:29:23.180 This is a disaster again and another clutch opportunity for Team Hawker. 05:29:24.180 --> 05:29:26.680 They have the default comp, they didn't know they dropped down the hatch. 05:29:26.680 --> 05:29:29.180 And Hical has two flashbangs drone in park. 05:29:29.180 --> 05:29:31.180 He could trusted the drone watcher flanker. 05:29:31.180 --> 05:29:32.180 Just ribs the plant. 05:29:32.180 --> 05:29:39.220 There's audio or some kind of camera or something a white swing, but exalotic 05:29:40.420 --> 05:29:45.860 Another clutch for team orchid another one v3 and he doesn't even care 05:29:46.580 --> 05:29:53.080 Stone cold killer exalotic and team orchid are up four rounds to one 05:29:53.420 --> 05:29:57.340 Elevates mental is absolutely and utterly destroyed 05:29:57.340 --> 05:30:05.860 This could have literally been a 5-0, where three of the rounds were huge clutches, because 05:30:05.860 --> 05:30:09.980 Crit J had that 1v4 earlier, bringing it down to a 1v2. 05:30:09.980 --> 05:30:13.700 This has been the game of clutches for Team Market. 05:30:13.700 --> 05:30:15.780 How this happens is beyond me. 05:30:15.780 --> 05:30:21.060 They have a spare pocket in the Icon's, a spare drone in Icon's pocket right there 05:30:21.060 --> 05:30:23.140 in the 1v1, was used for a flank. 05:30:23.140 --> 05:30:29.140 We saw when XR was flanking top spiral that there was a drone droning all of the bombsite. 05:30:29.140 --> 05:30:35.640 If the bombsite is clear, right, we can use common sense and go, he's gotta be on the flank. 05:30:35.640 --> 05:30:39.640 Or we mistroned him. But if you mistroned him, well, then you just gotta drone better than the first place. 05:30:39.640 --> 05:30:41.140 So that's just gonna be happening, right? 05:30:41.140 --> 05:30:44.640 They should be a little bit wary that their flank is open. 05:30:44.640 --> 05:30:48.640 The one guy was droning, opened up to the angle, second guy sprinting around. 05:30:48.640 --> 05:30:52.640 And the thing is, Capitan was running down yellow stairs, and he chased his mind. 05:30:52.640 --> 05:30:57.760 He went back towards the piano hatch and that shifted the entire turn of events. 05:30:57.760 --> 05:30:58.720 And it just kept going down. 05:30:58.720 --> 05:31:02.800 Yet only one guy dies to the flanger, and then you have one guy on piano holding the bird, 05:31:02.800 --> 05:31:05.040 capitol on the bomb site, the planet should be going down. 05:31:05.680 --> 05:31:08.240 This has to be a little bit of mental chalk for Elevate. 05:31:08.240 --> 05:31:11.280 Communication is not there, the trust in teamwork is not there. 05:31:13.360 --> 05:31:15.440 It's been a hard conflict. Very very hard conflict. 05:31:15.440 --> 05:31:16.080 And it gets worse. 05:31:16.080 --> 05:31:17.040 And it gets worse! 05:31:17.840 --> 05:31:18.240 Oh my. 05:31:18.240 --> 05:31:19.280 Great jade. 05:31:19.280 --> 05:31:25.620 Jormus out admin windows last round white swings the yellow window this one and it's two for two and opening kills 05:31:31.720 --> 05:31:34.880 See you later Joker have a nice holiday 05:31:35.960 --> 05:31:42.400 Go for three why not it's over. There's nothing left in the tank here for elevate. They're completely chalked. Oh 05:31:44.080 --> 05:31:46.880 What a round I mean it is it is so 05:31:46.880 --> 05:31:53.040 unbelievably over right now the mental it's not in the basement it has shifted 05:31:53.040 --> 05:31:58.120 to a new dimension that's even further beneath it's gone past the bedrock to be 05:31:58.120 --> 05:32:04.040 five and lobby passes just you go fishing for kills trying to pass that the KD 05:32:04.040 --> 05:32:07.520 cuz drink out of Windows found there's no way 05:32:07.520 --> 05:32:08.520 Oh, mate. 05:32:08.520 --> 05:32:09.520 LAP them up. 05:32:09.520 --> 05:32:11.520 LAP them all up. 05:32:11.520 --> 05:32:13.520 Barco to finally put down Cricci. 05:32:13.520 --> 05:32:17.520 The demon has just hit 11 kills. 05:32:17.520 --> 05:32:19.520 And now for poor Barco. 05:32:19.520 --> 05:32:20.520 One versus four. 05:32:20.520 --> 05:32:22.520 It's going to need to be an ace. 05:32:22.520 --> 05:32:23.520 No diffuser to speak of. 05:32:23.520 --> 05:32:25.520 Oh, hello there. 05:32:25.520 --> 05:32:26.520 Lycolis stares at it. 05:32:26.520 --> 05:32:29.520 Gives a little way through the mirror window. 05:32:29.520 --> 05:32:33.520 But he's not given any opportunity here. 05:32:33.520 --> 05:32:35.520 The half is about to close. 05:32:35.520 --> 05:32:42.540 and I'm sorry but Elevate is not finding a second round they are not they 05:32:42.540 --> 05:32:46.880 are not and I'm not even gonna go and say oh but the finish I did map this 05:32:46.880 --> 05:32:51.800 the finish I met that team orc it was so good at attacking on on fortress last 05:32:51.800 --> 05:32:56.320 game I am not worried about them picking up two attacker rounds of course 05:32:56.320 --> 05:32:58.920 there's a world elevator they can come back but let's be got the mental game 05:32:58.920 --> 05:33:03.040 again you're not gonna sit there go guys don't worry about all those runs that 05:33:03.040 --> 05:33:06.600 We lost and we shouldn't have lost fire. We got demons. Let's fight. No, no, no 05:33:06.600 --> 05:33:11.920 There's gonna be a little bit of stress in the server and a little bit like a faith from some players certainly a 05:33:13.520 --> 05:33:18.200 Barcode is just gonna sit back and take a little impromptu tackle time out with his team 05:33:18.520 --> 05:33:21.260 Chat about what they're gonna do on their defensive half because they 05:33:22.560 --> 05:33:28.320 Now they know where he is they're gonna go hunting for him. You just know it like holis will feed a little bit 05:33:30.680 --> 05:33:32.440 You can feed one more 05:33:32.440 --> 05:33:40.840 Peeps finds the kill. It's a quick spray, but it was really down to crit J a 4k to close up the half for 05:33:41.120 --> 05:33:48.100 Team orchid and this game is surely to be put to bed in the second half after our halftime vibe check 05:35:02.440 --> 05:35:07.440 It was those brown eyes 05:35:07.440 --> 05:35:10.440 It took my heart by surprise 05:35:10.440 --> 05:35:14.440 Did this be real? 05:35:14.440 --> 05:35:17.440 Because I dreamt you 05:35:17.440 --> 05:35:21.440 A chapter that I turned 05:35:21.440 --> 05:35:24.440 And took it to be true 05:35:24.440 --> 05:35:28.440 Was the one that made me feel 05:35:58.440 --> 05:36:02.820 that music and I can't help but feel like that must be what's blasting through a team 05:36:02.820 --> 05:36:07.580 orchids headset right now because certainly it's not blasting through the elevate headset 05:36:07.580 --> 05:36:13.140 right now. Maybe they need to chill out. Listen to some smooth jazz. Listen to some chill beats 05:36:13.140 --> 05:36:19.860 because Matt, the tensions must be so high after such a devastating first half on Consulate. 05:36:19.860 --> 05:36:24.540 I know what my Spotify playlist looks like. If I'm on elevate right now, it is sad violin 05:36:24.540 --> 05:36:29.740 tracks only for the next coming rounds because you got to just embrace it. I think you need to 05:36:30.300 --> 05:36:35.900 dig deep right now onto the emotional side and maybe just take take that minute there, 05:36:35.900 --> 05:36:41.340 accept the situation, move past it and then be the best teammate you possibly can. So guys 05:36:42.380 --> 05:36:47.340 every comeback starts with one and this is going to be that and then you go two five and you get 05:36:47.340 --> 05:36:51.260 a little bit hope in your eyes but I think this round right to the very first and side swap 05:36:51.260 --> 05:36:57.180 it's gonna be the most important because this is where you have the chance to shift the conversation 05:36:57.900 --> 05:37:02.380 forget about all the bad rounds and change the momentum in the server 05:37:02.380 --> 05:37:08.380 but if Elevee will lose this one it's down one six i think there is no recovering from that 05:37:09.260 --> 05:37:12.060 this is their round this is their number one most important round 05:37:14.140 --> 05:37:16.780 it's you gotta come out crazy on the defense 05:37:16.780 --> 05:37:23.780 But what did you say about Team Orchid on their attacking side of Fortress, they were kind of goaded. 05:37:23.780 --> 05:37:27.780 Wait, they didn't ban the Monty, wait, they didn't ban the Monty? 05:37:27.780 --> 05:37:30.780 Ban the Gram, ban the Ying, what did that Monty do? 05:37:30.780 --> 05:37:31.780 Ban the Grim and Ying. 05:37:31.780 --> 05:37:36.780 Okay, so Team Orchid aren't playing the Monty yet, so it's fine, right? It's fine. 05:37:36.780 --> 05:37:41.780 Just to talk it out, yeah, I mean it's going to happen eventually, especially if you start losing the rounds. 05:37:41.780 --> 05:37:47.180 Maybe they say, you know what, in case it goes to distance, we'll play it after the 05:37:47.180 --> 05:37:52.940 left over event, like Fortress, it's like the final parachute that got available to them. 05:37:52.940 --> 05:37:55.380 For now it's double shield, the Blitz and the Blackbeard. 05:37:55.380 --> 05:37:58.980 When you play a double shield like this, it's actually very common to go for a yellow CEO 05:37:58.980 --> 05:38:03.300 attack, because grappling in these windows and admin offices where Jogor is playing is 05:38:03.300 --> 05:38:04.860 quite tricky. 05:38:04.860 --> 05:38:10.220 So I'm curious to see kind of what this split attack is going to be, who is just keeps rather 05:38:10.220 --> 05:38:14.540 supporting an app inside opening some window in a second he was made with pressure he himself 05:38:14.540 --> 05:38:21.260 erodes in a way from that backs the position and here we are nearly I reckon we should give the guy 05:38:21.260 --> 05:38:28.060 with 11 kills a massive shield and a big assault rifle that sounds like a great idea why don't we 05:38:28.060 --> 05:38:33.660 give the team captain the blitz as well he's gonna go in peek for one crochet joins the fray 05:38:33.660 --> 05:38:40.060 Ok, Orcid are getting closer and closer to finishing Elevate off, like Colossus finds 05:38:40.060 --> 05:38:41.060 a second kill. 05:38:41.060 --> 05:38:42.060 It's all for the shields! 05:38:42.060 --> 05:38:43.060 Two kills each! 05:38:43.060 --> 05:38:44.060 Peeps to close it! 05:38:44.060 --> 05:38:45.060 Flawless! 05:38:45.060 --> 05:38:48.100 Perfect for Team Orcid! 05:38:48.100 --> 05:38:53.700 Match points on the verge of sending Elevate down to the lower brackets. 05:38:53.700 --> 05:38:55.860 This is a funeral, James. 05:38:55.860 --> 05:38:58.820 I mean, this is brutal. 05:38:58.820 --> 05:39:01.100 This is the most important round for Elevate. 05:39:01.100 --> 05:39:05.980 their first round defense, the favorable side, much easier to do. 05:39:05.980 --> 05:39:10.340 All these statistical advantages, they get flawlessly run over. 05:39:10.340 --> 05:39:17.540 Mute dying while ribbing a c4, small glass alive to shank, nothing, nothing happens. 05:39:17.540 --> 05:39:22.780 It's a flawless round, no obstacles. 05:39:22.780 --> 05:39:26.820 And then they can go lobby and try again, they can play the clash to stop the shields, 05:39:26.820 --> 05:39:30.700 right, but like, this is phenomenal from Timorfic. 05:39:30.700 --> 05:39:38.300 Again, their sheer prep work going into this from Operator Band selection to Operator Band's 05:39:38.300 --> 05:39:42.860 Bombsite selection. Bombsite order has been exceptional. It's like the new 05:39:42.860 --> 05:39:46.620 Elevator going to do every single round before Elevator even knew it themselves. 05:39:48.220 --> 05:39:55.500 And Orchid and they are so in love with the Double Sheep plays. They've run it so many times 05:39:55.500 --> 05:39:59.740 across this series now. Unfortunately, I'm guessing based on seeing the clash or seeing the Bombsite 05:39:59.740 --> 05:40:03.300 They have now just switched, but they're still gonna bring a shield, right? 05:40:03.300 --> 05:40:05.440 They're just also gonna bring the Nomad. 05:40:05.440 --> 05:40:10.640 I was wondering if they might bring some EMPs on one of these other operators, but no EMPs, which is curious to me. 05:40:10.640 --> 05:40:15.300 I feel like secondary EMPs are kind of underrated for playing against that clash. 05:40:16.300 --> 05:40:23.640 A lot of operators that can bring a little pocket EMPs, and they are quite good at just nullifying her impact when you go through an aggressive play. 05:40:23.640 --> 05:40:32.480 does give you that temporary disablement of the the slow effect I mean the thing 05:40:32.480 --> 05:40:36.280 we're playing a single shield is that clash can only cover one portion of the map 05:40:36.280 --> 05:40:39.360 you can put the guns in that direction and then you shoot with the backstab with 05:40:39.360 --> 05:40:43.380 it with another player in theory at least you don't want to put the blitz in 05:40:43.380 --> 05:40:46.960 direction of the clash because that's just not gonna end very well for you look 05:40:46.960 --> 05:40:51.240 there's got the 10 kills, don't know the rest about it yeah but bros on a blitz 05:40:51.240 --> 05:40:55.020 pistol not mean give this guy a gun that's why he was DB last like I was 05:40:55.020 --> 05:40:59.220 got two kills with blitz pistol last time yeah but like all this is a better 05:40:59.220 --> 05:41:04.460 sure player than Critchie will be a good thing on the course but there it is 05:41:04.460 --> 05:41:08.500 it's calling it like you see it we'll see what happens as the action starts to 05:41:08.500 --> 05:41:12.180 transpire all could are in the building critchie 05:41:12.180 --> 05:41:18.540 eat your words penguin critchie comes to life with a pistol like hollers big 2k 05:41:18.540 --> 05:41:24.540 with the AK, but Kritsche is forcing that plant down. Damage has been done! Doesn't matter about the clash, 05:41:24.540 --> 05:41:28.540 because Team Orc could have completely foregone the conclusion. 05:41:28.540 --> 05:41:35.540 Shibae and Momo need to get back onto the bomb site. Shibae spots out that plant, he might be able to put the shield down 05:41:35.540 --> 05:41:41.540 and try and go for the counter defuse, but not when there's nobody left and Kritsche is finished off yet another kill. 05:41:41.540 --> 05:41:44.860 Exalonic puts this game to bed! 05:41:45.860 --> 05:41:51.460 And team Orcid have a dive in the upper bracket with the best that this region has to offer. 05:41:51.460 --> 05:41:56.980 They may be coming for that crown. Elevate, step down into the lower bracket. 05:41:58.340 --> 05:42:02.740 Expectations go into this and even Matchup, who's going to be more prepared, 05:42:02.740 --> 05:42:07.140 who got tested more in their first game that prepped them mentally for the second. 05:42:07.140 --> 05:42:10.100 I thought it was gonna be, you know, a third mapper, 05:42:10.100 --> 05:42:12.340 Elevate fighting back, Orchid fighting back, 05:42:12.340 --> 05:42:14.740 Counter-Strike'ing back and forth, Tempo change. 05:42:14.740 --> 05:42:17.220 There was a lot of fighting back and a lot of Tempo change, 05:42:17.220 --> 05:42:20.020 but it's all from the side of Team Orchid. 05:42:20.020 --> 05:42:23.180 From Stratz to Tempo, Auburn event, Vito, 05:42:23.180 --> 05:42:25.820 I think they won in every single aspect. 05:42:25.820 --> 05:42:30.220 Take that plus countless touches across two very quick maps. 05:42:30.220 --> 05:42:33.620 That is how we get ourselves this very one-sided series. 05:42:33.620 --> 05:42:36.180 Absolute shillacking! 05:42:36.180 --> 05:42:38.300 7-1! 05:42:38.300 --> 05:42:41.620 And to think with how many clutches happened in this game, 05:42:41.620 --> 05:42:46.020 Fengu on the first map, it was all about BGMaN with his 2-feet clutches. 05:42:46.020 --> 05:42:50.140 In this map, he's had a 1v2, XRLok had a 1v3, 05:42:50.140 --> 05:42:52.100 and with the 1 rounds, 05:42:52.100 --> 05:42:57.580 that Elevate actually won was almost a Cricce clutch as well, almost a 1v4. 05:42:57.580 --> 05:42:59.780 These guys are insane! 05:42:59.780 --> 05:43:06.420 This could have been a 7-0 very very easily and again, I think we look at the player cams 05:43:06.420 --> 05:43:12.860 on these people. I was watching Joe for specifically during the half-time vibe check, it was looking 05:43:12.860 --> 05:43:17.420 a heart breaking on these player cams. It was not a good look and I think the very first 05:43:17.420 --> 05:43:21.180 round on the site some showed it. When you get flawless like that, you lose all faith 05:43:21.180 --> 05:43:24.220 in yourself and there was no fight left in them for a little bit. 05:43:24.220 --> 05:43:28.700 It sucks. There's a lot of learnings to take away from this game. Far more learnings than 05:43:28.700 --> 05:43:34.820 you take away from a win, like especially elevates win that they have the other day against HLT, right? 05:43:34.820 --> 05:43:38.820 Like, what are you going to like learn out of a game where you lose three rounds? 05:43:39.020 --> 05:43:46.700 This, I think, was a much better opportunity for elevate to learn how they can level up and hang with the big dogs. 05:43:46.700 --> 05:43:48.460 But all questions have been answered. 05:43:48.460 --> 05:43:54.540 We know the big dogs are here in Asia, and there's no question that Team Walken are back with a vengeance. 05:43:54.540 --> 05:44:01.680 Let's chat with their captain a familiar face an iconic face here in the APEC region like colors my friend 05:44:01.940 --> 05:44:06.020 What the hell was that you guys destroyed them? 05:44:07.980 --> 05:44:15.420 Yeah, um, we didn't think it couldn't be this one sided in all this map as well, but yeah, we expect some 05:44:16.380 --> 05:44:23.300 Like more close match, but well like all players like show up real clutch a lot of like food round 05:44:23.300 --> 05:44:28.860 yeah cuz I constantly was like a defense map so we expect like maybe like 05:44:28.860 --> 05:44:34.500 4 and 2 and then but yeah with I reduced clutch I think it's break them and talk 05:44:34.500 --> 05:44:37.100 I believe yeah 05:44:39.620 --> 05:44:46.220 honestly today was a crazy two mapper I'm not gonna lie like the clock is the 05:44:46.220 --> 05:44:49.420 highlight we guys were playing at it looked like to us from the outside of 05:44:49.420 --> 05:44:54.060 you guys had insane prep work for a lot of it. The bombs that you guys chose, 05:44:54.060 --> 05:44:57.220 especially on Conchlet, starting on the spit bombs out of archives and tellers 05:44:57.220 --> 05:45:01.900 because of the just like a smoke ban. Did you guys just have the perfect prep 05:45:01.900 --> 05:45:05.540 work going into this? Did you just know what they were gonna do or is it just 05:45:05.540 --> 05:45:08.860 need a ship on the fly? Because you guys made almost no mistakes throughout this 05:45:08.860 --> 05:45:15.940 series. I think it's both. We know the usually ban for fortress usually 05:45:15.940 --> 05:45:23.060 bad it and we scream this map a lot and usually it was like easier to draw or win. We expect, 05:45:23.060 --> 05:45:30.420 we think that we are better in fortress than them so we keep that map. For Consulate we knew 05:45:30.420 --> 05:45:36.900 it because it's one of the map players so we knew what they want to play. Yeah and we we're going 05:45:36.900 --> 05:45:42.580 into the like oh if they pick Consulate okay we have the two stars with defense so it's probably 05:45:42.580 --> 05:45:49.140 going to be easier because like I believe Ponslet is like really heavy defense map and yeah we 05:45:49.140 --> 05:45:55.140 got it in mind uh if we then we defend the Tazenka smoke uh we just we just chat that I I think we 05:45:55.140 --> 05:46:00.100 should just like don't pay the second point because like the the band the two primarily like base 05:46:00.100 --> 05:46:05.460 ops on their side so we just like focus on Taylor and okay yeah so I think it's coming out very 05:46:05.460 --> 05:46:07.460 They're both in game and prep, yeah. 05:46:07.460 --> 05:46:09.460 Thank you. 05:46:09.460 --> 05:46:15.460 Were you surprised at the fact that they were okay with playing Fortress and Consulate with what you just described? 05:46:15.460 --> 05:46:19.460 Was that a surprise to you guys? Did you expect them to want to go there? 05:46:19.460 --> 05:46:27.460 For Fortress, I expect them to go to Ultimate because usually when some teams are not banning Fortress, 05:46:27.460 --> 05:46:33.220 Like each year they are confident or just hope that the team ban it, right? 05:46:33.220 --> 05:46:37.860 But from my experience, the new form team and the lineup are changing. 05:46:37.860 --> 05:46:41.300 So I believe they are not ready to play Fortress yet. 05:46:41.300 --> 05:46:43.860 So we gambon to pick it as an attacker side. 05:46:43.860 --> 05:46:48.100 Yeah, because Fortress for real, the attacker side is really hard. 05:46:54.100 --> 05:46:57.060 Speaking of that attacking side, like Colus, 05:46:57.060 --> 05:47:05.060 Today we saw Blitz and Blackbeard together. We saw you pick the Montaigne as well after the band phase had completed. 05:47:05.060 --> 05:47:11.060 You guys seem like you really love the current meta of the shields. Talk to me about what it's like. 05:47:11.060 --> 05:47:14.060 Obviously yourself who wanted a shield play has been playing it a lot. 05:47:14.060 --> 05:47:18.060 What's it like using the shields in the current meta, especially using more than one of the same team comp? 05:47:18.060 --> 05:47:25.940 I believe like it is really a must to achieve operator like in the current meta 05:47:25.940 --> 05:47:31.420 because like we with the how like you know operator change work right we can 05:47:31.420 --> 05:47:36.700 always like choose which like first I'm gonna play but from our experience from 05:47:36.700 --> 05:47:42.140 swimming with other teams I believe we are not that good in doing the default 05:47:42.140 --> 05:47:46.980 like it going like layer 1, layer 2, layer 3 and going to the end we are not 05:47:46.980 --> 05:47:52.460 that good in doing that yet but but I believe by playing like chaos it's 05:47:52.460 --> 05:47:56.220 kind of gamble but like it usually work out because like most of the time like 05:47:56.220 --> 05:47:59.940 they're not ready for it so yeah I believe it's just come from our 05:47:59.940 --> 05:48:05.380 experience in the stream that I think it's worth more doing that for us yeah 05:48:05.380 --> 05:48:09.900 alright last question for you like Hollis I congratulations on your win 05:48:09.900 --> 05:48:13.500 today your next match though is gonna get a lot harder you're gonna be playing 05:48:13.500 --> 05:48:18.060 in the upper bracket final against Weibo and the winner of that match will qualify through to the 05:48:18.060 --> 05:48:21.740 major in Salt Lake City. It's been a while since you went to the major so I'm sure you're gutting 05:48:21.740 --> 05:48:26.540 for that. How do you feel that you're going to perform against Weibo and are there any other 05:48:26.540 --> 05:48:30.540 teams that you're scared of in the bracket? Because if you lose that match you'll have a 05:48:30.540 --> 05:48:35.580 second chance to fight through the lower bracket. So yeah how are you feeling going into that game? 05:48:35.580 --> 05:48:45.220 I would say that we hope to win the Weibo in the apro bracket so we can clear out online 05:48:45.220 --> 05:48:51.500 if we win but if not we're probably going to have some problems, first thing still hard 05:48:51.500 --> 05:48:56.380 probably again and then hope to win them to get to currently for the second place. 05:48:56.380 --> 05:48:59.180 Yeah that's my thought for you. 05:48:59.180 --> 05:49:03.620 Okay well like all of us thank you so much for the interview tonight and congrats on such 05:49:03.620 --> 05:49:04.620 an incredible win. 05:49:04.620 --> 05:49:10.580 We'll let you go, but good luck in your match next week against Waver. Thank you. Thank you for all of you. Bye. Bye 05:49:11.060 --> 05:49:13.060 Thank you. See ya 05:49:13.420 --> 05:49:20.220 Absolute legend always love like holis one of the the best players that we get into the interviews always 05:49:20.420 --> 05:49:24.820 Such a pleasure and a real OG of the scene. I love all the insight that he gave us 05:49:24.820 --> 05:49:29.100 It's just gonna say soon all the behind the scenes in the intricacies of how things work 05:49:29.100 --> 05:49:37.100 Yeah, I mean it showed so well right he said bit of both when it came to IGLing on the fly and the prep work 05:49:37.100 --> 05:49:43.100 to my surprise they weren't expecting the smooth to shangha band and said guys if that happens we don't get to afford 05:49:43.100 --> 05:49:51.100 that was said as a reaction to the bands in the server so when you have both good prep work and your adaptation on the fly 05:49:51.100 --> 05:49:57.100 you can become a very very dominant team and it's just not very nice to be the conversation of who gets that second spot 05:49:57.100 --> 05:50:00.340 can spot because we have to keep saying way below the lock in one of them. There's no 05:50:00.340 --> 05:50:05.580 way they don't. Um, but I think after today to more can have a real shot at second place. 05:50:05.580 --> 05:50:10.220 Yeah, look, I think my favorite thing that, uh, like Kola said was, look, we don't think 05:50:10.220 --> 05:50:14.100 we're actually good at playing the game the normal way. We just like chaos. So let's 05:50:14.100 --> 05:50:18.700 keep playing like that. Uh, but of course that's it. Congrats to Team Orchid. Now they 05:50:18.700 --> 05:50:23.060 have a chance to fight against the best in the region, but are they the second best? 05:50:23.060 --> 05:50:26.860 Or maybe they have some other competition that they might have to fight in the lower 05:50:26.860 --> 05:50:29.300 bracket teams like souls hard. 05:50:29.300 --> 05:50:32.180 We're taking on unreal nightmare up next. 05:50:32.180 --> 05:50:33.140 So stick around. 05:50:33.140 --> 05:50:36.140 We have one more game tonight here in the Asia League. 05:51:56.860 --> 05:52:01.860 I think it's better to talk to friends. 05:52:01.860 --> 05:52:08.860 I'm sure my parents have told me that they are talking to each other. 05:52:08.860 --> 05:52:13.860 They are worried that I can't find a place to live. 05:52:13.860 --> 05:52:15.860 They are worried. 05:52:15.860 --> 05:52:20.860 I don't know if there is any kind of trust in the country. 05:52:50.860 --> 05:53:13.860 I had a dream that was good and sad, I had to say that it was a dream that I didn't know the Thai language at all, it was like a dream, because I knew it was a dream, but it was a dream that I remember, when I came out of the room and saw my father sitting, which is a dream that he still has in common. 05:53:13.860 --> 05:53:23.860 I can't remember what he said, but I asked him about his dream and how it was. 05:53:23.860 --> 05:53:29.860 It was a dream that I could feel and talk to him. 05:53:29.860 --> 05:53:37.860 I think it was a dream that I didn't have in my life. 05:53:37.860 --> 05:53:42.860 How do you feel about the first time you've been in the first year of FURII? 05:53:42.860 --> 05:53:51.860 I have to say that after being able to major in the first year of FURII, 05:53:51.860 --> 05:53:57.860 it's called the update of our team. 05:53:57.860 --> 05:54:00.860 We are very confident from this event, 05:54:00.860 --> 05:54:02.860 because we can't fight for the international team, 05:54:02.860 --> 05:54:06.860 but we are confident and we can continue to do so. 05:54:06.860 --> 05:54:12.860 It's not that I'm not sure about the next year, but it's the year that I got 2 Major. 05:54:12.860 --> 05:54:14.860 After that, I got 2 Major. 05:54:14.860 --> 05:54:16.860 I think it's a great experience. 05:54:16.860 --> 05:54:22.860 Because in the first Major that I lost to MNM, it was just a little bit of a loss. 05:54:22.860 --> 05:54:26.860 It was a loss that I had to cut off the scene. 05:54:26.860 --> 05:54:28.860 I had to go to the next round. 05:54:28.860 --> 05:54:31.860 I thought that if I had played better, I would have won the game. 05:54:31.860 --> 05:54:36.860 And it's a result of another dimension that we lost to Dark Siro. 05:54:36.860 --> 05:54:40.860 It's just a single line. 05:54:40.860 --> 05:54:45.860 I'll win just a little bit more, but I still can't win. 05:54:45.860 --> 05:54:49.860 I got to compete in S.I. in Brazil. 05:54:49.860 --> 05:54:54.860 I have to say that it's the biggest event in my life. 05:54:54.860 --> 05:55:00.860 I believe that everyone is trying their best in this event. 05:55:00.860 --> 05:55:13.860 I think we can overcome the pressure, but I can see clearly that after we lost, we were looking at the map as a viewer. 05:55:13.860 --> 05:55:21.860 I have to say that we have to try to think that we lost the group, but we are sitting in the audience. 05:55:21.860 --> 05:55:32.700 I saw the team that passed through, I saw the alarm, I saw their plan, I saw the momentum, I saw everything. 05:55:32.700 --> 05:55:44.700 I think we still, the players in our team, we may not have missed it, but we still did a lot because of the people who went there. 05:55:44.700 --> 05:55:52.700 It's not about the plan or the ability of the character, it's more about the feeling of the character. 05:55:52.700 --> 05:55:56.700 It's fun to follow the game. 05:55:56.700 --> 05:56:01.700 I'm still thinking about how to do it. 05:56:01.700 --> 05:56:06.700 I'm still thinking about it. 05:56:06.700 --> 05:56:12.700 If I think about it, I'll see myself in the future. 05:56:12.700 --> 05:56:28.700 I hope that next year, if I'm still playing, I want to get a major or a major S.I.S. once a year. 06:01:42.700 --> 06:01:46.940 They are the best that this region has got to offer! 06:01:51.940 --> 06:01:56.300 One last series to cap off the day. 06:01:56.300 --> 06:01:58.780 That's right, we've already eliminated one team, 06:01:58.780 --> 06:02:01.340 we've promoted one team into the upper bracket final. 06:02:01.340 --> 06:02:04.140 Thank you, now it's time to cap things off. 06:02:04.140 --> 06:02:08.380 And the thing that's got me excited is they're going to see another prospect 06:02:08.380 --> 06:02:11.420 for what could be the second best team in the Asia region. 06:02:11.420 --> 06:02:13.900 Sol's heart finally taking set stage! 06:02:15.020 --> 06:02:20.140 Yeah they do and it's also exciting because we actually saw their opponent play just early today 06:02:20.140 --> 06:02:25.500 in Unreal Nightmare. So we're seeing a team that's kind of warming up into a series and a team who's 06:02:25.500 --> 06:02:30.540 supposed to be one of the top dogs of the region who have yet to play. Sol's heart of course, like 06:02:30.540 --> 06:02:35.980 I said, we're expecting them when this day started to be what guarantees second door at 06:02:35.980 --> 06:02:40.380 the very least a very very high chance. But the more play dates we go through, the more teams we see 06:02:40.380 --> 06:02:46.060 in action, likes your market, I'm thinking maybe he's not a guaranteed second place anymore. 06:02:46.060 --> 06:02:53.420 No, very much so. Of course, Soulsheart last year actually struggled quite a lot. They ended up 06:02:53.420 --> 06:02:58.540 the year failing to qualify for sixth in rotation. They were knocked out by 4am, a Chinese team from 06:02:58.540 --> 06:03:04.540 the LCQ for the APAC region. They also struggled in both stage one and stage two. They were very 06:03:04.540 --> 06:03:10.220 much shown up by other teams in this region. Obviously, your waivers, the old Elevate roster, 06:03:10.220 --> 06:03:13.340 and the old Fury roster which is now Team Orchid. 06:03:13.340 --> 06:03:20.420 But SoulSoul really came into their own when it came down to the A-Pack Cup in Tokyo in January. 06:03:20.420 --> 06:03:24.420 Pengu, it was kind of a surprise to see them take the championship. 06:03:24.420 --> 06:03:26.020 We didn't expect that at all. 06:03:27.020 --> 06:03:33.380 No, I mean, to be fair, you know, it was mostly due to the fact that CAG were also present at the event 06:03:33.380 --> 06:03:35.700 and you're kind of expecting them to take it, right? 06:03:35.700 --> 06:03:37.380 That's like a logical conclusion. 06:03:37.380 --> 06:03:43.780 But no, SoulSide kind of came out of nowhere and just started having a massive amount of success. 06:03:43.780 --> 06:03:50.380 And I don't feel like at that moment in time, we could point our finger at this is the reason, or that is the reason. 06:03:50.380 --> 06:03:56.380 Like, you know, very descriptive factors. It just kind of was a lot of small things moving into the bigger picture, 06:03:56.380 --> 06:04:01.380 almost like when CIG themselves went from being a sometimes good team to an everyday good team. 06:04:01.380 --> 06:04:03.780 I feel like these guys had a similar trajectory. 06:04:03.780 --> 06:04:09.860 And one other similarity between CAG and SoulSide is there's some of the only teams in the world at the tier one level 06:04:09.860 --> 06:04:14.520 that haven't made any changes to their starting five roster coming into 06:04:14.760 --> 06:04:20.060 2026 with the roster main that we saw after Paris now, of course they have a cop editor 06:04:20.700 --> 06:04:26.780 Rising up through the lower bracket on real nightmare like you said we saw them play five and a half hours ago 06:04:27.980 --> 06:04:29.980 against the 06:04:30.540 --> 06:04:32.540 HLT 06:04:33.780 --> 06:04:34.780 I don't know. 06:04:34.780 --> 06:04:35.780 HL Tory Esports? 06:04:35.780 --> 06:04:36.780 Yeah, there you go. 06:04:36.780 --> 06:04:37.780 HL Tory. 06:04:37.780 --> 06:04:38.780 I'm like, what? 06:04:38.780 --> 06:04:39.780 I know their tag is HLT. 06:04:39.780 --> 06:04:40.780 HL Tory Esports. 06:04:40.780 --> 06:04:44.620 Of course, that was a tough game at the start. 06:04:44.620 --> 06:04:47.420 And then Unreal Nightmare really ran away with it. 06:04:47.420 --> 06:04:49.940 Of course, it was like 8-7 first map. 06:04:49.940 --> 06:04:54.100 And then Unreal Nightmare managed to come back and win the next two maps sequentially. 06:04:54.100 --> 06:04:58.740 But their first game was actually against Team Orc and who we just saw win. 06:04:58.740 --> 06:05:01.220 And yeah, Unreal Nightmare really struggled against them. 06:05:01.220 --> 06:05:04.940 only won seven rounds across the two maps. 06:05:04.940 --> 06:05:06.820 Yeah, and I mean, the thing is, 06:05:06.820 --> 06:05:08.100 I feel like under nightmares, 06:05:08.100 --> 06:05:10.660 they show us the day that they have 06:05:10.660 --> 06:05:12.180 some really good moments. 06:05:12.180 --> 06:05:14.580 I still think going total to a Halo Touring 06:05:14.580 --> 06:05:17.220 or an eight, seven, max OTM cafe 06:05:17.220 --> 06:05:20.860 is a small sign of worry for me. 06:05:20.860 --> 06:05:22.020 But with that being said, 06:05:22.020 --> 06:05:23.500 this is the best of three environment. 06:05:23.500 --> 06:05:25.540 If they can avoid the maps they're weak on, 06:05:25.540 --> 06:05:27.220 which obviously cafe was one of them, 06:05:27.220 --> 06:05:28.540 and get a little bit better map, 06:05:28.540 --> 06:05:34.600 He talked with this one learning what they're doing as he should toy and be systemate this could obviously change the conversation 06:05:34.720 --> 06:05:40.380 But yeah, go back on cafe if you go on conch flint and start attack. That's wrong thinking. Oh, this could be rough 06:05:40.580 --> 06:05:41.580 Yeah, of course 06:05:41.580 --> 06:05:47.200 It's always hard playing two best of threes in the same day and well on and I may have had a bit of a break 06:05:47.200 --> 06:05:54.400 We look back and see actually there's a constant like debate between is it good to have the warm-up or is it bad to be facing the 06:05:54.520 --> 06:05:56.520 fatigue but we've actually seen 06:05:56.520 --> 06:06:02.540 internationally at these top tier events the teams that do end up playing two 06:06:02.540 --> 06:06:06.500 games in the same day actually tend to have more success if you win the first 06:06:06.500 --> 06:06:10.460 one you pretty much always are guaranteed to win the second one the 06:06:10.460 --> 06:06:14.260 last four invitations no team has lost multiple series in a single day which 06:06:14.260 --> 06:06:18.340 means you either lose the first one and you're out or you win the first one and 06:06:18.340 --> 06:06:23.940 you go on to win the second one as well so maybe that's a bit of an argument 06:06:23.940 --> 06:06:26.340 that it's not fatigue, it's a warm-up. 06:06:27.140 --> 06:06:31.300 It's a very interesting stat line, and I will say obviously this will depend from team to team, 06:06:31.300 --> 06:06:35.780 especially when it comes down to experience. For example, I would take Soulsheart, 06:06:35.780 --> 06:06:38.820 if they went back to back series, and they're in third map at both times, 06:06:38.820 --> 06:06:42.580 I think they have a much better chance with their experience as a team, as individual players, 06:06:42.580 --> 06:06:46.020 than on the nightmare where they're much younger and much less experienced. So, 06:06:46.020 --> 06:06:52.180 that's a bit more smart. Can a rookie team have that kind of warm-up, or will it simply be a seed for them? 06:06:52.180 --> 06:06:58.180 Well, remains to be seen. We're gonna have to find out where we're heading. Of course, B03. So, let's see the map Vito. 06:06:58.180 --> 06:07:05.180 Solzhard, no doubt, the Goliath in this David and Goliath matchup. Unreal Nightmare coming from the channel soon as well. 06:07:05.180 --> 06:07:15.180 We're gonna go back to Chalet. That's an exciting prospect, because we went to Chalet earlier today and saw Unreal Nightmare take quite a convincing victory over HL Tori there. 06:07:15.180 --> 06:07:21.180 We haven't yet seen Solzhard on Chalet at this stage. I'm really keen to see what these guys are cooking. 06:07:21.180 --> 06:07:29.180 and then we go to Conceal, which I said if Under Nightmare start the attack inside, that's a bit of a doom and gloom, but they're actually starting on the defense. 06:07:29.180 --> 06:07:34.180 It gives them a fighting chance and a good starting side as well. The side has dropouts from the test of fundamentals. 06:07:34.180 --> 06:07:38.180 I actually think these are three quite nice maps for both of these two rosters. 06:07:38.180 --> 06:07:42.180 Little bit surprised that it was Solz's hard banning a fey, given the results earlier. 06:07:42.180 --> 06:07:43.180 to be a tough game for 06:07:43.180 --> 06:07:45.180 unreal nightmare. But they are 06:07:45.180 --> 06:07:47.180 warmed up. They're ready to go. 06:07:47.180 --> 06:07:48.180 Souls heart trying to look to 06:07:48.180 --> 06:07:50.180 bounce back after being knocked 06:07:50.180 --> 06:07:52.180 into lower bracket by Waybo in 06:07:52.180 --> 06:07:54.180 the upper semi finals, but so 06:07:54.180 --> 06:07:56.180 many people are resting their 06:07:56.180 --> 06:07:58.180 hopes on souls hearts shoulders 06:07:58.180 --> 06:08:00.180 to try and compete the best 06:08:00.180 --> 06:08:02.180 possible. So we're going to 06:08:02.180 --> 06:08:04.180 get into the final of the 06:08:04.180 --> 06:08:06.180 final. We're going to get into 06:08:06.180 --> 06:08:08.180 the final of the final. We're 06:08:08.180 --> 06:08:10.180 going to get into the final of 06:08:10.180 --> 06:08:15.140 to try and compete at the very top level and gun for a major in order to make 06:08:15.140 --> 06:08:18.580 that a reality they're gonna have to battle through this level bracket that 06:08:18.580 --> 06:08:23.020 run starts now with unreal nightmare 06:08:29.700 --> 06:08:35.260 so operator bands are gonna set the tone for the game obviously we kind of we 06:08:35.260 --> 06:08:39.180 spoke to like holders in T-Market he said that you know some of it is 06:08:39.180 --> 06:08:43.340 prep work, submitted an invitation on a fly. These first two operandabands is normally going to be 06:08:43.340 --> 06:08:49.260 a direct counter place that goes into how you want to play off the rip. And the third and final 06:08:49.260 --> 06:08:53.340 operandaband come three rounds from now. That's going to be your on-the-fly target bend to figure, 06:08:53.340 --> 06:08:59.420 okay, what kind of small adaptations can we make. You said, wow. And we've spoken a lot about trap 06:08:59.420 --> 06:09:04.460 operators and the strength of the different ones and who's annoying and who's not. A thorn band 06:09:04.460 --> 06:09:09.020 has hit the produce server and that is something I never thought we would talk 06:09:09.020 --> 06:09:15.620 about because what the hell I am one of the biggest advocates for thorn bands 06:09:15.620 --> 06:09:22.160 and ranks I love batting thorn I've had too many games where I have died because 06:09:22.160 --> 06:09:26.100 you know you know those moments where it's similar to what happens with orchid 06:09:26.100 --> 06:09:28.900 similar to what happened earlier today with HLT actually when they're playing 06:09:28.900 --> 06:09:32.140 it's I don't know I'm there you know the mid-round the start of the round is kind 06:09:32.140 --> 06:09:36.300 a bit rough like maybe end up in a 3v3 minute and a half to go and then you realize guys 06:09:36.300 --> 06:09:40.780 it's 20 seconds let's just get in the building and then you get like two kills and now it's 06:09:40.780 --> 06:09:47.500 suddenly like a 2v1 and then you die to a thorn trap it happens all the time to me and 06:09:47.500 --> 06:09:51.980 so I just hate thorn I just and she's also so good like I always play around defense 06:09:51.980 --> 06:09:57.580 because she's just so good if you just want maximum coverage you've got four thorn traps 06:09:57.580 --> 06:10:02.140 and two pieces of barbed wire you can lock up so much of the map. Such a good operator, 06:10:02.140 --> 06:10:05.980 I don't know if I'm getting rid of it, means they can be much better positioned for these 06:10:05.980 --> 06:10:13.020 late round pushes. Alright, for Sol's heart they have stopped a bit of pushing power, 06:10:13.020 --> 06:10:17.340 right, the blitz and the cap of the tower, we're seeing a Monty Glass Ying Sen still could be 06:10:17.340 --> 06:10:23.740 off the roof. It screams, execute. And with Monty going library balcony, I cannot do this 06:10:23.740 --> 06:10:28.380 the bait. Munty's gonna jump in library because it's like quote-unquote unkillable. Say, hey guys, 06:10:28.380 --> 06:10:32.780 it's library clear, it's library clear, shatter the mirror, cause distraction, but then they hit 06:10:32.780 --> 06:10:37.660 the bomb sentence. There are no big window and piano in the jumpings. That could very well be the 06:10:37.660 --> 06:10:42.620 plan, but as I say that, they actually shifted away from those windows and balconies and have 06:10:42.620 --> 06:10:47.420 doubled up on the library. Maybe they're gonna fake the master second convention. I'm not, 06:10:47.420 --> 06:10:51.100 I think they're figuring out right now. They're gonna fake it one side or the other. What are we 06:10:51.100 --> 06:10:57.260 taken this classic split theory bit of pressure everywhere and then you decide 06:10:57.260 --> 06:11:00.820 where you're gonna end once you have a bit more information depends what if you 06:11:00.820 --> 06:11:04.140 get a pick library maybe you decide to end like what if you get your pick site 06:11:04.140 --> 06:11:08.260 maybe you ignore library and focus upside I like this setup it's the punch 06:11:08.260 --> 06:11:12.460 though he's prepared a nitro cell it might not be deadly to the Monty but 06:11:12.460 --> 06:11:16.420 shouldn't be deadly to anyone else that goes sides to jump inside that smoke 06:11:16.420 --> 06:11:20.580 grenade gets caught by the omidus in goes the glass and the monsters that 06:11:20.580 --> 06:11:22.120 Be hell of a lot of pressure! 06:11:22.120 --> 06:11:25.060 Onto Mr. Punch, see you later, alligator! 06:11:25.060 --> 06:11:27.220 And suddenly, under the nightmare, have two big picks, 06:11:27.220 --> 06:11:29.500 the Scatman does take down Big J. 06:11:29.500 --> 06:11:31.960 The sense that was playing on the side. 06:11:31.960 --> 06:11:33.940 Mark is holding on. 06:11:33.940 --> 06:11:36.880 As another aggressive play, Shaz makes his way inside. 06:11:36.880 --> 06:11:39.400 K3 has the diffuser, he's trying to find the pick. 06:11:39.400 --> 06:11:41.740 Onto Mark, he could just tank the gate and go for the swing. 06:11:41.740 --> 06:11:45.080 It would be an unpredictable off-pace peek, 06:11:45.080 --> 06:11:47.080 and it could work out for him. 06:11:47.080 --> 06:11:48.440 Maybe he's waiting for the doke and be called. 06:11:48.440 --> 06:11:49.940 Here it comes. 06:11:49.940 --> 06:11:51.940 But now Mark is ready for it. 06:11:51.940 --> 06:11:54.440 Yeah, and indeed he does bait the gate. 06:11:54.440 --> 06:11:56.240 Just tank it and try and go for a kill, 06:11:56.240 --> 06:12:00.040 but Mark gets damage onto him out one HP 06:12:00.040 --> 06:12:01.640 and jumping straight into a mirror window. 06:12:01.640 --> 06:12:03.940 Not an ideal scenario for K3. 06:12:03.940 --> 06:12:07.440 Wag needs to get active for you in. 06:12:07.440 --> 06:12:08.640 Such a good job of Mark. 06:12:08.640 --> 06:12:11.140 Not always swinging and just playing that prime spot in the middle 06:12:11.140 --> 06:12:13.340 and he needs to make sure to wear 400 and hold the angles 06:12:13.340 --> 06:12:15.040 and the cover is great. 06:12:15.040 --> 06:12:17.440 Now it's a 3-D1, but just a thought to be, 06:12:17.440 --> 06:12:20.720 know you to the pocket has to push through a double door and look at that 06:12:20.720 --> 06:12:24.920 three people in three different angles all gonna come out to the same exact 06:12:24.920 --> 06:12:28.080 moment when he pushes on in 06:12:28.760 --> 06:12:33.280 come on unlock three-way crossfire 06:12:33.520 --> 06:12:37.960 gotta say though we look back across the whole round I really like what we saw 06:12:37.960 --> 06:12:41.980 from you when I like the idea behind a split push they even had the first two 06:12:41.980 --> 06:12:45.760 kills they bit off a little bit more they could chew and could not convert it 06:12:45.760 --> 06:12:47.440 to a site, execute. 06:12:47.440 --> 06:12:49.680 Sol's heart now have a bit of a read 06:12:49.680 --> 06:12:51.880 of what they're up against. 06:12:51.880 --> 06:12:54.560 Unreal Nightmare are very much ready 06:12:54.560 --> 06:12:56.580 to take the fight to Sol's heart. 06:12:57.920 --> 06:13:01.000 There were a couple of small missed steps, 06:13:01.000 --> 06:13:04.120 I would say there, from the attacks that we kinda, 06:13:04.120 --> 06:13:06.280 I don't know, I think they were very windable. 06:13:06.280 --> 06:13:09.120 So, Monty died to a flank on Blue Stairs. 06:13:09.120 --> 06:13:10.800 I think, well, well, I just walked with Staircase, 06:13:10.800 --> 06:13:13.680 shot Monty in the back, and then Monty goes down. 06:13:13.680 --> 06:13:18.960 While they're barreling inside a library, Yin was actually pushing the bomb site into the piano window. 06:13:18.960 --> 06:13:28.160 So, I spoke with the whole, okay, they're gonna fake library, push the bomb site, oh, never mind, sorry, they're gonna fake master, they're gonna push library, okay, now I know what they're gonna do. 06:13:28.160 --> 06:13:29.520 They changed that one a couple of times. 06:13:29.520 --> 06:13:35.520 I don't know if there's gonna be a miscommunication of what the final call was gonna be, because Yin rushed in the piano bomb site. 06:13:36.800 --> 06:13:41.040 When you've only just taken library and gotten those two inter-killers, you have no disadvantage, 06:13:41.040 --> 06:13:48.040 No one's gonna help the ying, you are completely on your own, and if you don't get like two kills yourself, you'll just die. 06:13:48.040 --> 06:13:51.040 And it's not like they gave me much of her with pushing piano room in your... 06:13:51.040 --> 06:13:53.040 Again, you're still fighting blue stairs. 06:13:53.040 --> 06:13:56.040 So there are small things going the wrong way. 06:13:56.040 --> 06:13:59.040 Also, I think the experience of skulls are really short there. 06:13:59.040 --> 06:14:07.040 The discipline in the 3v3, Mark playing that position on half on the office, doing such a phenomenal job at that explosion yourself to either of the angles. 06:14:07.040 --> 06:14:13.720 Because that's the big kicker sometimes a player will over swing and be things who's in like an unkillable position 06:14:13.880 --> 06:14:19.040 But it's only unkillable because his teammates are watching his angles and you have a crossfire every turn 06:14:19.560 --> 06:14:26.080 But if you swing as that guy in the middle you surrender the crossfire and that's missing a lot of players to make sometimes not mark 06:14:26.440 --> 06:14:28.440 He was rock solid 06:14:28.440 --> 06:14:38.440 No honourable nightmare, I'm not afraid of changing things up, going for aggressive plays 06:14:38.440 --> 06:14:41.880 and then bringing a new execute to the table. 06:14:41.880 --> 06:14:46.280 And of course they are not only warmed up in general after playing a game like today, 06:14:46.280 --> 06:14:52.960 but they were warmed up specifically on Chalet, we saw them win against HLT 7-4 on this map. 06:14:52.960 --> 06:14:57.240 And already in one round deep, we've already seen a different strategy, a different kind 06:14:57.240 --> 06:14:59.900 Execute an attack that we never saw them do against HLT 06:15:00.400 --> 06:15:05.640 And that's very smart when you're expecting to go back to back or maybe even after that video was done 06:15:05.640 --> 06:15:08.880 Because that's not like an hour in advance usually you say guys just shut it in 06:15:08.880 --> 06:15:12.540 Let's hook up a counterstrike you just look at the most recent boss from so far 06:15:12.540 --> 06:15:18.640 Do if you know their past history of how they play the game and you just you rip a counter and that variable could have been one of those 06:15:18.640 --> 06:15:21.760 No, man, it could have been a shootout but didn't but that piece right there 06:15:21.760 --> 06:15:24.800 You know through that one big J goes down mr. Punch 06:15:24.800 --> 06:15:30.680 Here's the punch, here's the ring, and that's Maverick by the way, that's the only person 06:15:30.680 --> 06:15:35.920 that can get through this wall with the Kai'i in action and hit it before clearing the Kai'i 06:15:35.920 --> 06:15:38.720 wall itself and before making a rotation on the wall. 06:15:38.720 --> 06:15:42.240 That's right, it's always tempting when you're playing Maverick to just peek the hole, but 06:15:42.240 --> 06:15:46.160 unfortunately this is not the best way to play the maz. 06:15:46.160 --> 06:15:49.480 Yeah, Mr. Punch though finds the second one, you're right though, I can hear what you were 06:15:49.480 --> 06:15:52.920 about to say, you get the Blackbeard to do exactly that, because the Blackbeard can do 06:15:52.920 --> 06:15:57.400 it safely with the shield in front of his face. The shield wasn't protecting anything there when 06:15:57.400 --> 06:16:07.640 Mr. Punch went for the kill. It is entirely a TCSG round. The two TCSGs rip UN a new one and Sol's 06:16:07.640 --> 06:16:14.840 heart completely dismantled that attack. So it's big of warm-up or fatigue. I gotta say, 06:16:14.840 --> 06:16:19.480 on the nightmare we're not making these small mistakes when they played early today and it goes 06:16:19.480 --> 06:16:23.800 in two ways. One, so far there are better team than the previous opponent and a bit of punishing it, 06:16:23.800 --> 06:16:30.440 but two, when only Maverick can counter an electrified wall, that is the most important 06:16:30.440 --> 06:16:35.800 body in the server until his job is done. So no matter if Maverick is like, oh wait, 06:16:35.800 --> 06:16:40.200 was it a free kill? I had a drone and I could just pre-fire and if I hit the hatchet, it's like, no, 06:16:40.200 --> 06:16:45.320 it's not worth the risk because you don't understand, if the Maverick dies, you have four people who 06:16:45.320 --> 06:16:49.720 cannot play the game. They're all waiting for Maverick to beat the walls so that everyone 06:16:49.720 --> 06:16:55.080 else can get in the action. And there's also a thing that happens often like in tier 2, tier 3, 06:16:55.080 --> 06:17:00.520 in ranked, is that it's important to understand where your role is. And it's not like you spawn 06:17:00.520 --> 06:17:05.640 in a third mind, it's like, oh, I'm not supposed to shoot my guns with a drone and breach. True, 06:17:05.640 --> 06:17:10.120 in the beginning, it was a drone and breach, but after you've spent your drones, after you've done 06:17:10.120 --> 06:17:14.600 on the half reaching, you're now either the planter or the intrafriker because your body 06:17:14.600 --> 06:17:15.600 is just a gun. 06:17:15.600 --> 06:17:18.080 You don't have utility anymore, you've done that already. 06:17:18.080 --> 06:17:22.760 So understanding your role on the round starts and how it changes throughout. 06:17:22.760 --> 06:17:26.360 Maverick could have done that peek if he had opened the wall first or they had killed the 06:17:26.360 --> 06:17:29.200 Clyde first, then it's completely okay. 06:17:29.200 --> 06:17:33.200 Orpina before doing so makes life miserable for everybody else. 06:17:41.760 --> 06:17:43.040 Basement defense, huh? 06:17:44.480 --> 06:17:45.520 Very fine, let me see it. 06:17:45.520 --> 06:17:51.040 This is classic Souls hard though. They're one of the few teams that is unafraid to pick bombsites 06:17:51.040 --> 06:17:56.240 that other teams hate. Wow, this is a very interesting position from Mr. Punch and Solarium. 06:17:56.240 --> 06:18:03.520 You can see all the way down into the basement and you can watch trophy and because it's running TCSG you can make a lot of 06:18:04.840 --> 06:18:06.840 Verticality very quickly 06:18:07.160 --> 06:18:08.800 High breach potential 06:18:08.800 --> 06:18:12.880 With that weapon, but yeah, I mean souls heart notably on night Haven labs 06:18:12.880 --> 06:18:16.520 They're one of the few teams that play kitchen. They are really good at it 06:18:16.920 --> 06:18:23.200 So I mean I'm typically skeptical of teams that go basement on shall a but I don't want to count our souls 06:18:23.200 --> 06:18:28.840 was jazz bathing that you know the entire run by the way we're being shot 06:18:28.840 --> 06:18:37.020 but wow that's a big outplayed mark yeah that's gonna be like oh he knew 06:18:44.380 --> 06:18:48.440 but I'm gonna have a lot more ground to take they seem to try and sneak down 06:18:48.440 --> 06:18:53.480 West Main Stairs, big opening kill though. Maybe they've got some vault information because they 06:18:53.480 --> 06:18:58.040 seem to know where every position is here from Sol's heart. And now K3 looks to try and make 06:18:58.040 --> 06:19:03.320 an aggressive play. I9 doesn't realize he's already played deep in the boom site. Dropping down from 06:19:03.320 --> 06:19:08.440 the hash, BZH finds one, then he's traded back. Triple kill in the round for shadow with the DMR. 06:19:09.480 --> 06:19:15.080 Mr. Punch, the last one left, he's been spotted inching his way forward from the big garage. He 06:19:15.080 --> 06:19:18.640 He is taking down Unreal Nightmare, man, you've got to give him credit. 06:19:18.640 --> 06:19:25.680 They know how to push on Chalet and they are not afraid of taking the fight to Solzha. 06:19:25.680 --> 06:19:28.640 There's one of the discussions that we had in one of the earlier matches, maybe both 06:19:28.640 --> 06:19:34.280 of them actually, about how sometimes, it's actually funny, it was Unreal Nightmare against 06:19:34.280 --> 06:19:38.880 H.O.T. Tori, where sometimes in defense, you need to just not do anything because the 06:19:38.880 --> 06:19:42.160 attackers themselves are not progressing the map. 06:19:42.160 --> 06:19:47.880 You can go back and argue, if Mark doesn't jump out the mudroom window and die to a ying, 06:19:47.880 --> 06:19:52.160 that's a 5v5 but all the attackers outside the building, you're happily taking it. 06:19:52.160 --> 06:19:57.120 But this is one of the most difficult things about playing Pro League, is you have a feeling 06:19:57.120 --> 06:20:01.840 in the server that we don't see, we have a top down perspective, we have the outlines, 06:20:01.840 --> 06:20:06.000 we see them go oh that was a bad play, that was a good play, because we have the full picture. 06:20:06.000 --> 06:20:10.320 But if you are soul-sparking that round and you see this guy showing outside the window, 06:20:10.320 --> 06:20:12.080 Why wouldn't you jump out? 06:20:12.080 --> 06:20:14.960 Why would there be a Ying Shuck and hold it in the first place, right? 06:20:14.960 --> 06:20:19.640 It's these small mindcapes that goes back and forth, but I think because Mark gets punished, 06:20:19.640 --> 06:20:22.600 now they have that small note in the back of their mind. 06:20:22.600 --> 06:20:27.160 They're waiting for us to make a play somewhere, so when they're actually doing nothing, they 06:20:27.160 --> 06:20:28.160 are doing nothing. 06:20:28.160 --> 06:20:31.520 They're not like, they're not baiting it, so to speak. 06:20:31.520 --> 06:20:34.480 If we don't make a play, they're just waiting for us to do something, so if we don't do 06:20:34.480 --> 06:20:38.080 anything, it's a stalemate, and because we're defending, we'll win. 06:20:38.080 --> 06:20:41.980 I expect sometimes to make some small adjustments. I think getting the clash involved off the 06:20:41.980 --> 06:20:46.740 rig is, you know, magnificent. You can just sit down your shield, the beards hurry, full 06:20:46.740 --> 06:20:50.340 information in one direction, Marcus is still playing soloist to see the Jones and the Fank 06:20:50.340 --> 06:20:54.180 House abilities, and now they can work off intel rather than assumption. 06:21:02.180 --> 06:21:04.820 There's a lot of mind games in Siege, right? It's all about... 06:21:04.820 --> 06:21:07.860 are they making progress do we make a move 06:21:07.860 --> 06:21:12.020 this is absolutely dirty stuff 06:21:12.020 --> 06:21:15.460 from mr. punch is that you are over there 06:21:15.460 --> 06:21:19.140 he can lock your fall while 06:21:19.140 --> 06:21:21.540 he's not gonna cross left he's not gonna go 06:21:21.540 --> 06:21:23.780 rock he has to go all the way on the right-hand side now 06:21:23.780 --> 06:21:27.380 yeah well this is just gonna burn a lot of time 06:21:27.380 --> 06:21:31.140 is that work no it's not work 06:21:31.140 --> 06:21:34.740 it's just burn some utile hasn't it i mean the only way that he dies 06:21:34.740 --> 06:21:38.900 here is if someone comes with a ladder but he's actively watching that yeah or 06:21:38.900 --> 06:21:44.540 if someone gets inside behind him and I mean there's bombsite control so 06:21:44.540 --> 06:21:51.460 that's not happening. So someone's stuck wall I think there's no response there 06:21:51.460 --> 06:21:56.620 it's gonna open it up this also shows on real nightmares hand actually when you 06:21:56.620 --> 06:22:01.460 reach that stock wall the end goes to go for a you know bombsite window plant or 06:22:01.460 --> 06:22:06.020 planning inside like games at least. How they do it that's a different story but 06:22:06.020 --> 06:22:08.900 they're showing what the end goal is. They got a nuke that can walk in and you 06:22:08.900 --> 06:22:12.300 know walk past the cameras. They got a glass of smoke in the maze, a ying from 06:22:12.300 --> 06:22:16.780 the trails. All they need is to get inside. But the issue is the moment they 06:22:16.780 --> 06:22:19.860 get inside they're battling somebody immediately. The DCH and library corner 06:22:19.860 --> 06:22:24.020 of Rooney Gates, Yeager DSS, Clash top library. We can just walk in and help them 06:22:24.020 --> 06:22:27.700 as well. I'm not sure where they're gonna find the pig but they need one 06:22:27.700 --> 06:22:31.140 desperately for everyone out here 06:22:34.620 --> 06:22:38.620 yeah they're kind of just fishing but they're not even doing a job of that 06:22:38.620 --> 06:22:42.860 and then we look at the capsule and Solsoff needs to not do anything yeah 06:22:42.860 --> 06:22:46.220 that's true exactly what happened last night I think like Solsoff's 06:22:46.220 --> 06:22:51.860 went to lesson okay that's weird like they win you never ever see that being 06:22:51.860 --> 06:22:56.740 one wag is on the floor surely can be finished off shortly but the Jays found 06:22:56.740 --> 06:23:01.540 to pick. Maybe there is a way back into it. Shaz is managing to get the refive off, and 06:23:01.540 --> 06:23:06.580 Big J's finished off Mark. This is a very strange turn of events you never see rounds 06:23:06.580 --> 06:23:12.900 play out this way. Wag now forcing that diffuser down. Mr. Punch has no idea where to play. 06:23:12.900 --> 06:23:18.020 Sol's heart are completely dismantled, and now Mr. Punch is in a 1v5 that he quickly 06:23:18.020 --> 06:23:23.900 turns into a 1v4. Wag is low, but everyone else here should have the bomb side unlocked. 06:23:23.900 --> 06:23:41.900 Shaz is the only player with full HP. He doesn't even have a rifle. This might be winnable here. Does Mr. Punch still have his shield? He does. It's not on him. It's active elsewhere, I believe, but it's constantly stunning out, so that gives him a little bit of information, too. 06:23:41.900 --> 06:23:46.320 to. Problem is, with no shield on his back, he's not going to be able to try and fake 06:23:46.320 --> 06:23:52.440 this out and he has no time. Shaz can quickly peek and finish off the round. Unreal Nightmare 06:23:52.440 --> 06:24:00.920 are on the board. That is an attacker on victory for UN, but the way to win it is criminal. 06:24:00.920 --> 06:24:05.080 They need a pick, right? We discussed that, how they found it, we couldn't figure out. 06:24:05.080 --> 06:24:09.660 They just jump in double window and shoot to the right and fight DC Hitch on the most 06:24:09.660 --> 06:24:15.660 unwinnable gunfight on the chalet. And they win it! They get the kill to DCH, they toss 06:24:15.660 --> 06:24:21.260 a smoke, a second player jumps in, they go for the revive, and they come out almost flawlessly 06:24:21.260 --> 06:24:24.420 into the post plant. The fact that it gets a little bit close to a different story about 06:24:24.420 --> 06:24:27.140 the added amazing post, they got library for the cals, the other ones are window, they 06:24:27.140 --> 06:24:32.980 don't lose that. But like, how they get that pick is beyond me. It was a massive desperation 06:24:32.980 --> 06:24:36.780 once again, it pushed them to make it in the right play, because they only did that because 06:24:36.780 --> 06:24:44.900 had an option. Very strange, very strange to do it dry peaking as well. I mean that's 06:24:44.900 --> 06:24:49.820 as a tilt of a souls heart. I mean you strategically won that round you just lost a crucial gunfight 06:24:49.820 --> 06:24:58.220 and yeah a couple other picks elsewhere. But oh well it's a round that's in the past now 06:24:58.220 --> 06:25:04.540 soul's heart can still win this defensive half and overall soul's heart 06:25:04.540 --> 06:25:10.100 they've now lost bar they lost basement don't go back to basement you're on the 06:25:10.100 --> 06:25:13.700 top floor this one was pretty well locked down I don't know that they did not 06:25:13.700 --> 06:25:18.340 do next round you can go to dining that's the half you don't even need to go 06:25:18.340 --> 06:25:23.980 and revisit those two bomb sites you lost that's a good point 06:25:23.980 --> 06:25:29.040 I will also say though like it sounds so simple but if you don't give unknown 06:25:29.040 --> 06:25:33.600 nightmare the opening pick and just punish them one area of the map I do 06:25:33.600 --> 06:25:36.440 think these rounds are so different obviously when you jump in library 06:25:36.440 --> 06:25:40.040 window it just somehow lose it and said that seems unusable like what can you do 06:25:40.040 --> 06:25:44.300 about it it was the two rounds those hard at one was them punishing them in the 06:25:44.300 --> 06:25:48.120 opening duel so it's a double TCSG round it was marked playing in half wall that's 06:25:48.120 --> 06:25:52.400 the two victories the two rounds they lost well it was where they don't get 06:25:52.400 --> 06:25:56.400 So it literally has been the same way both teams have won twice, now they're even. 06:25:56.400 --> 06:26:02.400 So we can pick up the tiebreaker, we can stay more consistent, we can adapt to their opponent's playstyle. 06:26:02.400 --> 06:26:08.400 You win our intro to library, throw anything you've lost before, and miss that punch is on the ground, unable to escape. 06:26:08.400 --> 06:26:11.400 Wait, get down from here, might have been K3. 06:26:11.400 --> 06:26:14.400 Coming through down below. Must have been. 06:26:14.400 --> 06:26:17.400 K3 then finishes the game. 06:26:17.400 --> 06:26:23.000 K3, coming through down below. Must have been. K3 then finishes him off. 06:26:23.000 --> 06:26:28.800 Worry about the Dreadmines from the Fenrir. I know he went for a flank, wants to get his 06:26:28.800 --> 06:26:35.280 C4 active, no doubt. Yeah, it doesn't have any information, it's blind. All that does 06:26:35.280 --> 06:26:39.320 is tell him he'll not make it, there's someone playing down below, but I guess they tried 06:26:39.320 --> 06:26:43.000 to hunt him and I9 found one, traded back, that's still worth it here for Sol's heart 06:26:43.000 --> 06:26:45.000 because they retained another advantage. 06:26:46.000 --> 06:26:51.000 I keep the bomb side in full control plus I found a kill offscreen while Anand got that pick. 06:26:51.000 --> 06:26:54.000 So it is taking me a 2-1 if you counter it across the map. 06:26:54.000 --> 06:26:57.000 And with Nomad and IQ, I mean they don't have no pushing power. 06:26:57.000 --> 06:26:59.000 They have frag grenades and that is it. 06:26:59.000 --> 06:27:01.000 So Anand also gives them an easy opening. 06:27:01.000 --> 06:27:02.000 There shouldn't be one. 06:27:02.000 --> 06:27:04.000 And we've seen him in these TV2s before. 06:27:04.000 --> 06:27:07.000 It's crossfire. It's been close together. 06:27:07.000 --> 06:27:09.000 And it's understanding, guys, where are the Arunigates? 06:27:09.000 --> 06:27:10.000 Where are the Fenrymines? 06:27:10.000 --> 06:27:12.000 And what cameras are alive? 06:27:12.000 --> 06:27:17.300 because you can put the utility and cameras on those angles that you don't need to watch with the guns 06:27:17.300 --> 06:27:19.300 and then get more guns in the same directions. 06:27:19.300 --> 06:27:23.200 So the flanks are locked in with utility cameras and their front is being held together with the bodies. 06:27:29.200 --> 06:27:33.200 Soil's hard to pick this, then it should be the round, but that's a big kill. 06:27:33.200 --> 06:27:34.200 Let's get that. 06:27:34.200 --> 06:27:37.900 Good swing though from Mark, traded by Big J, worth it. 06:27:37.900 --> 06:27:39.660 Now, DCH, in the one of the- 06:27:39.660 --> 06:27:40.160 Oh! 06:27:40.160 --> 06:27:42.420 B.J., be careful, don't age yourself. 06:27:42.420 --> 06:27:44.620 He's got no U2 left, except for a drone in pocket. 06:27:44.620 --> 06:27:47.580 DCH, can just sit back. 06:27:47.580 --> 06:27:50.180 He's got info from that ballpark cam. 06:27:50.180 --> 06:27:51.420 They know where B.J. is. 06:27:51.420 --> 06:27:54.780 The pre-fire, though, DCH, seems a little bit nervous. 06:27:54.780 --> 06:27:56.700 B.J. has got the superior weaponry. 06:27:56.700 --> 06:27:59.260 And he knows exactly where he is! 06:27:59.260 --> 06:28:00.500 Lends the shots! 06:28:00.500 --> 06:28:04.980 And with that, Unreal Nightmare have taken the lead! 06:28:04.980 --> 06:28:06.460 Big smiles on their faces, too. 06:28:06.460 --> 06:28:16.460 they know those is steel. A 2v3, a player outside piano window, a player in a briefs that has no rotation, no vault, no crouch, no nothing, no way into the bomb side. 06:28:16.460 --> 06:28:24.460 They should never win that. What they find depicts, they counter the intel, and they circumvent their runigates. 06:28:24.460 --> 06:28:33.460 I mean, so hard. I'm not sure if it's more discipline or more respect, but they are starting to fall a little bit behind the curve now. 06:28:33.460 --> 06:28:38.640 Last year we should get on the Kobe and say, ah, shall I take a favorite? It's fine. It's fine. It's fine 06:28:39.040 --> 06:28:44.080 Because look at this position 4v2. Okay, Anand is in stock in the corner. He's gonna die fair enough 06:28:44.400 --> 06:28:49.560 But how do you lose that three versus two starts off with one person getting called off guard from piano window 06:28:49.640 --> 06:28:51.640 Which arguably this shouldn't happen 06:28:55.200 --> 06:28:58.680 Yeah, I'm surprised I feel like souls are having quite little 06:28:58.680 --> 06:29:02.960 potential here. Arnold and Aimee though on the flip side they've definitely played 06:29:02.960 --> 06:29:08.000 better so far than what we saw from them in their match earlier today. They are so 06:29:08.000 --> 06:29:14.080 unafraid even in a 2v3, even despite whatever scoreline it is, despite the 06:29:14.080 --> 06:29:19.000 round on paper being lost they will continue fighting against Solzat and 06:29:19.000 --> 06:29:23.920 winning a lot of really crucial moments. VCH in that 1v1, he just looked a bit 06:29:23.920 --> 06:29:31.120 Shaken he didn't on the flip side. I'm an I'm it just seemed to have everything working out for them 06:29:32.260 --> 06:29:36.760 Last chance now to tie the score line for souls heart. They go down into dining and kitchen 06:29:37.420 --> 06:29:43.880 With an extension of the hold up top, but what if I'm real nightmare brought to the table in the very last round of their attack? 06:29:43.880 --> 06:29:45.880 It's your favorite penguin 06:29:47.840 --> 06:29:53.800 It's gonna give you that bit of stability in different playstyle and honestly working pressure in this particular round 06:29:53.920 --> 06:30:00.400 hold up, there we go. It can pressure or plant attempt, but now it's more important ever that we go back to my previous conversation 06:30:00.480 --> 06:30:05.180 last time we saw Maverick. We need to understand what your role is and when it changes. 06:30:05.340 --> 06:30:11.200 We need to relax right now for Unreal Nightmare and ensure that Maverick can do what he needs to get done. 06:30:11.240 --> 06:30:18.880 That is pressure in those walls that are fortified by the kite form. If you lose the Maverick early or do the steps in the wrong order, 06:30:18.920 --> 06:30:22.360 you're gonna have a problem somewhere. So take the time that you need. 06:30:22.360 --> 06:30:27.780 Yes, there's a timer on you two minutes left, but it's better that you get to the bumps over 20 seconds left 06:30:27.780 --> 06:30:30.100 There's a bit of a rush trap, then you don't get there at all 06:30:32.260 --> 06:30:36.480 They're like you're saying Maverick is the only hard breach brought to the table at all 06:30:36.480 --> 06:30:39.600 Which means that if they want an entry hole on the site 06:30:39.600 --> 06:30:43.920 They're gonna have to make a big one and instead they're just looking to take a lot of fights 06:30:43.920 --> 06:30:46.000 I think this is probably gonna be it. I mean 06:30:46.000 --> 06:30:51.000 Big J is the Maverick, yes, but he's now one of the only players left remaining. 06:30:51.000 --> 06:30:55.000 It's just him and Wag. It's not likely he'll be able to safely Maverick anything now. 06:30:57.000 --> 06:31:01.000 So, Monty walking solo by the Bumpslide, a player by a piano window. 06:31:01.000 --> 06:31:06.000 Maverick only just now, that's his first line with the Maverick Torch. 06:31:06.000 --> 06:31:10.000 So I'm not sure they thought the Bumpslide was completely clear and could just skip this step, 06:31:10.000 --> 06:31:14.000 but like I said, it's important to do it in the right order or you should not get the right result. 06:31:14.000 --> 06:31:19.360 This is why it's a fortress drop again. She can't just brute force it look a triple crossfire 06:31:19.880 --> 06:31:24.520 We're under scooped anyway, so it doesn't matter right now, but it's a really stage of this was a bit 06:31:25.520 --> 06:31:27.520 atrocious 06:31:27.640 --> 06:31:30.040 Yeah, it was now wag 1v5 06:31:30.680 --> 06:31:32.680 That'll be the end of the half surely 06:31:33.280 --> 06:31:38.240 At least the souls heart they do finally get back into it back on top of it 06:31:38.240 --> 06:31:43.640 And it's even at the end of the half they put this trick from unreal nightmare to bed 06:31:44.000 --> 06:31:47.360 as we go to a halftime vibe check before we swap sides. 06:33:44.000 --> 06:34:00.680 Holy crap vibes are peak right now Nick. That was that was gotta be one of my favorite 06:34:00.680 --> 06:34:07.880 songs. Oh, yeah, man. Oh, yeah, we like that one. Oh, we like it. Were you excited as us? 06:34:07.880 --> 06:34:13.080 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I was good. We spoke about this earlier, right? Like when we get 06:34:13.080 --> 06:34:17.400 later in the day we get like just keep opening the vibes. I feel like we've been doing that today. 06:34:17.400 --> 06:34:26.760 It's been a good gradual increase every single time. Absolutely. Sorry, that song just really 06:34:26.760 --> 06:34:34.280 reminded me of some concerts I've been to and I'm just getting flashbacks. I mean that's the beauty 06:34:34.280 --> 06:34:40.280 of music rather than the beauty of memories is how it has smell has sound. Some trigger can bring you 06:34:40.280 --> 06:34:49.880 back years in the past and just we make it really really little moments so as we 06:34:49.880 --> 06:34:54.680 lock back in to this game second half starts now the first half for those who 06:34:54.680 --> 06:34:57.920 missed it it was two rounds in a row by souls are very convincing and then three 06:34:57.920 --> 06:35:02.960 in a row from unrealite there which started with a very surprising like 06:35:02.960 --> 06:35:07.520 kind of this should never work type push but then they miraculously made it 06:35:07.520 --> 06:35:12.000 happen and then Soulsheart flawless in the final round of the half. 06:35:12.920 --> 06:35:16.080 So I feel like any form of momentum for either team has kind of gone. 06:35:16.360 --> 06:35:18.600 It's a very different story to what happened in the previous series, 06:35:18.600 --> 06:35:22.680 right? Like where the team awkward, won the mental game against Elevate. 06:35:22.720 --> 06:35:24.520 Even like Cole has said it in his interview, 06:35:24.520 --> 06:35:29.000 it feels like they kind of just kind of squashed Elevate's mental. 06:35:29.120 --> 06:35:30.160 There was nothing left to be done. 06:35:30.160 --> 06:35:31.360 I feel like I'm real nightmare. 06:35:31.480 --> 06:35:34.320 Despite obviously playing a match earlier today, big, long, 06:35:34.320 --> 06:35:39.320 the best of three and going up against the team as good as Solzhard, but he doesn't seem to be faced whatsoever. 06:35:41.320 --> 06:35:50.320 I'm curious in the second half though, you know, the good old attacker-sided chalets and whatnot, Solzhard they can get very freaky, very quickly. 06:35:50.320 --> 06:35:54.320 I mean, you have Aynar on the roster, the back-eyed in, he's taken over, he's extended into a door, into a window. 06:35:54.320 --> 06:36:00.320 We see right now from Scatman instead, off his door, he's about to swing this any second. 06:36:00.320 --> 06:36:03.840 There's nobody there immediately but there is a case going the bums it is 06:36:04.840 --> 06:36:08.200 Joe is in the bomb site right now switches now to the shotgun 06:36:08.720 --> 06:36:11.120 should have probably gotten a second kill there, but 06:36:11.720 --> 06:36:13.040 BJ 06:36:13.040 --> 06:36:14.000 recomposes 06:36:14.000 --> 06:36:20.440 That's it. They're now souls hot have created a big gap. It forces. I'm gonna knock their back the black feed in and 06:36:20.880 --> 06:36:22.880 The grim bees as well 06:36:23.240 --> 06:36:28.240 Mark needs to come around and get active with his hard breach to open up an avenue onto the site 06:36:28.240 --> 06:36:36.400 but yeah a lot of damage what what what I guess you look too far left they're 06:36:36.400 --> 06:36:41.320 re-aggressing you got a player dropping up the main stairs and you got someone 06:36:41.320 --> 06:36:44.800 else running around down below as well what is I love this from under that me 06:36:44.800 --> 06:36:48.680 I mean impressed they've got the code is to go for something like that 06:36:48.680 --> 06:36:53.040 meme all sorts of hard of drones on the roof of the building but not on the 06:36:53.040 --> 06:36:56.680 flanks beneath them they actually have one on library stairs but not the 06:36:56.680 --> 06:37:01.680 So that's where the gap was and again, she's then utilized and punished from Unreal Nightmare. 06:37:01.680 --> 06:37:08.680 It's kind of resetting the round now. There is no heart-reaching from the attackers, but they have a vault rotate 06:37:08.680 --> 06:37:14.680 and key codes on Office Walls, so that's fine. But they have lost the Blackbeard, which gives you that plant potential 06:37:14.680 --> 06:37:19.680 because there ain't no way you're gonna jump through a vault rotate and just pray they're looking the wrong direction. 06:37:19.680 --> 06:37:24.680 One toxic bait, but 2 defenders, no one health. So it's so hard, they're gonna go hunting for kills first, 06:37:24.680 --> 06:37:27.840 kills first, find a pick or two, then make their move. 06:37:30.400 --> 06:37:32.040 Guys, we're gonna come to life here. 06:37:32.840 --> 06:37:36.600 BJ is still burning time with those smokes. 06:37:38.040 --> 06:37:42.040 And yeah, no more U-Till in terms of frag grenades, just R9. 06:37:42.560 --> 06:37:43.200 With the Grims. 06:37:43.200 --> 06:37:45.840 B is BJ, he does more damage, still. 06:37:46.200 --> 06:37:48.520 He's found two kills in this round so far. 06:37:48.520 --> 06:37:50.520 Finally put to rest from DCH. 06:37:50.520 --> 06:37:53.480 That should have happened a long time ago, since that wall was soft. 06:37:53.480 --> 06:37:56.480 Now 2v3, the soul's hard. 06:37:57.480 --> 06:38:00.480 I still worry about the blue flank, but I mean no one's there. 06:38:00.480 --> 06:38:04.480 There is a shadow solace downstairs and dining clean the second wind cone. 06:38:04.480 --> 06:38:07.480 The tank going down, I was working counter with an impact below. 06:38:07.480 --> 06:38:10.480 He's taking it! He's taking the plan! 06:38:10.480 --> 06:38:14.480 Wow! That's insane from BCH! 06:38:14.480 --> 06:38:15.480 What?! 06:38:15.480 --> 06:38:19.480 There's so much confidence that that plan is going to go down, doesn't care about his life. 06:38:19.480 --> 06:38:22.480 Shadow should have been baited out, but not. 06:38:22.480 --> 06:38:31.480 One D2 now, I'm out in DCA trying to lock up the side. They should know exactly where Shadow is coming from and they have a perfect crossfire onto his position. 06:38:31.480 --> 06:38:38.480 Swing on contact, no need to overextend. Don't give him a chance and he shouldn't be able to win it. He tries to bait it out. 06:38:38.480 --> 06:38:47.480 DCA should not look in the wrong way. They look together. Finds the first one. Just maybe it's winnable. DCA just needs to buy three seconds of time. 06:38:47.480 --> 06:38:53.420 And now that's it shadow has to stick it the round is lost the shadow didn't have time to get it done 06:38:53.420 --> 06:39:00.900 The kill doesn't even matter anyway. We'll try and find it but DCH has duked him out just like he did with the plant itself 06:39:03.420 --> 06:39:05.420 So 06:39:05.620 --> 06:39:07.020 Strategically I 06:39:07.020 --> 06:39:12.760 Real nightmare do the right thing they have two people by the bomb site and they have a solid stance there saying okay 06:39:12.760 --> 06:39:14.760 If they go for a plant, I got this. 06:39:14.760 --> 06:39:19.760 He impact grenades almost right beneath the DCH's line who's landing. 06:39:19.760 --> 06:39:21.760 It was a little bit off, but he still damaged him. 06:39:21.760 --> 06:39:23.760 And then he was saying, I'm gonna impact it. 06:39:23.760 --> 06:39:25.760 He's gonna stop planting, he's gonna push Steve on the bomb side. 06:39:25.760 --> 06:39:28.760 So I'm gonna sprint back upstairs and help my teammate. 06:39:28.760 --> 06:39:30.760 But DCH's stuck it. 06:39:30.760 --> 06:39:33.760 Despite taking impact damage, despite knowing he was a soloist, 06:39:33.760 --> 06:39:36.760 despite knowing there was a counter, he doesn't get off it. 06:39:36.760 --> 06:39:38.760 And it changes everything. 06:39:38.760 --> 06:39:41.760 Because the plant goes down, and soloists won't get back to the bomb site in time. 06:39:41.760 --> 06:39:47.320 So it's an unfair gunfight not a fair one all of a sudden that could have been a 1v1 turn to be one 06:39:48.120 --> 06:39:52.600 So I'm gonna admit it's so many things right and around yet. They lose to the yet. They get punished 06:39:54.080 --> 06:39:57.440 Bit of a shame, but it goes so on the attack inside souls hard 06:39:57.440 --> 06:40:02.200 They still got some fight lifting them my I have to clean his defenses, but that's a great start to the attack 06:40:03.680 --> 06:40:07.640 But it came down to the Scatman finding a gap and just sending it 06:40:07.640 --> 06:40:13.360 Which is kind of the souls hardware quite like that. I hope they continue to do that 06:40:13.600 --> 06:40:16.660 They have a lot of players capable of making plays like that 06:40:19.120 --> 06:40:23.600 And Scatman is back on the day most again, I hope that shotgun treats him a little bit better this round though 06:40:23.600 --> 06:40:25.600 I'm lucky. Probably should have won that fight 06:40:26.440 --> 06:40:28.440 yeah, I 06:40:28.440 --> 06:40:29.920 mean 06:40:29.920 --> 06:40:35.720 It's it's one of those cases where some people's shotgun still wanted you across the map and all people's shotgun still just 06:40:35.720 --> 06:40:38.040 It's gonna kill you in close quarters. 06:40:39.040 --> 06:40:46.520 It's funny how we all play with the same weapon, but for that particular shotgun, the M870, it's wildly different from player to player. 06:40:49.720 --> 06:40:50.920 He's on the hunt. 06:40:52.640 --> 06:40:59.560 Actually, a lot of scans have found four of the different operators, so that does give him a lot of flexibility when he's trapped with the Namos. 06:41:01.000 --> 06:41:04.800 A lot of horizontal control, absent to the bomb site. 06:41:05.720 --> 06:41:12.720 Shadow wants to go for a bit of a flank, it's just being watched, because Soltar fell victim to a few flanks last round. 06:41:12.720 --> 06:41:17.720 Oh yeah, he's kinda, yeah there we go, he's watching it. 06:41:17.720 --> 06:41:24.720 The issue is, when you're watching the camera that close to the staircase, you can hear you go off the camera before you know what's happening. 06:41:24.720 --> 06:41:28.720 Well they've been able to divert, that's genius, oh my god. 06:41:28.720 --> 06:41:36.220 So the player above is shooting down, no wait, yeah, he's floor banging, saying, hey, I'm the one watching the banger. 06:41:36.220 --> 06:41:41.220 And it's actually covered the sound of demons going off the cam, and that's where they could be killed. 06:41:41.220 --> 06:41:43.220 That's cool. Very smart. 06:41:43.220 --> 06:41:48.220 Those tiny little details like that are so hard to pull off, unless you have great chemistry with your team. 06:41:48.220 --> 06:41:54.720 These SoulsR players have been playing together for such a long time, and they have that down pat. 06:41:54.720 --> 06:41:58.220 Now, it comes down to executing onto this top floor. Is there a player at the top of the mezzanine? 06:41:58.220 --> 06:42:00.900 I think there is K3 is actually in an awkward spot. 06:42:00.900 --> 06:42:04.220 He might be able to deal some damage if he's not accounted for. 06:42:04.220 --> 06:42:07.020 In fact, he is not checked. 06:42:07.020 --> 06:42:10.220 Mr. Punch will fall aiming down sides with a black beard. 06:42:10.220 --> 06:42:17.640 A second kill could come through here for K3, damage onto Y9, invulnerable to the flashbangs, 06:42:17.640 --> 06:42:19.220 and now he goes hunting for more mark. 06:42:19.220 --> 06:42:23.420 We'll find Big J, but K3 is still in a deadly position. 06:42:23.420 --> 06:42:30.380 I mean he is completely escaped all the crossfires. Yeah, I mean he's gonna find out what he gets pre-fight by mark 06:42:30.380 --> 06:42:34.100 I guess you heard his footsteps. Well, I mean he found so much value in it 06:42:34.100 --> 06:42:39.080 Oh, you should have been but mark close up three kills on the round just lagging a 1v4 06:42:39.700 --> 06:42:44.380 Yeah, and Scatman is tracking him. I know exactly where he is. Let's say, okay library stairs 06:42:44.700 --> 06:42:46.700 No need to take the fight 06:42:46.860 --> 06:42:49.300 Scatman can just lock him in this position 06:42:49.300 --> 06:42:57.900 They will hunt him from up above, I9 finds the final kill, a bit of a clap from Mr. Punch, and Soulsheart are paving their way forwards. 06:42:59.900 --> 06:43:01.000 Nice shot from Mark. 06:43:01.400 --> 06:43:09.300 I mean, there is still, I think, a little bit of lack of information from Soulsheart, not knowing what was Nikola Messini, not knowing it was clear enough, I'm kind of assuming that it was. 06:43:09.300 --> 06:43:15.300 Um, technical timeout, ult, from Unveil, nightmare, I think this is actually pretty good, right? 06:43:15.300 --> 06:43:19.800 They're not really falling behind and like, they sound like unwinnable by means, but it's okay, guys. 06:43:19.800 --> 06:43:25.800 Let's stick it back together. What can we change? What can we fix? Because this is a real shot at taking Shalay, if we keep up the level. 06:43:29.800 --> 06:43:30.800 This is fine. 06:43:30.800 --> 06:43:32.800 5v3, this is fine. 06:43:33.800 --> 06:43:34.800 It's okay. 06:43:34.800 --> 06:43:36.300 It's a sick and soul's heart, no big deal. 06:43:36.300 --> 06:43:38.300 Two rounds from losing the map, this is fine. 06:43:39.300 --> 06:43:40.300 Oh man. 06:43:40.300 --> 06:43:51.460 You know, it's the same when Team Orchid they won today, it's like, ah, let's go, guys! 06:43:51.460 --> 06:43:54.420 And then in your mind you go, ah, shit. 06:43:54.420 --> 06:43:55.420 Now we play Weibo. 06:43:55.420 --> 06:43:58.420 Ah, we won, but this is fine. 06:43:58.420 --> 06:44:02.940 Yeah, it was, oh here, we get to see this clip back again. 06:44:02.940 --> 06:44:05.780 Completely debated, Shadow there. 06:44:05.780 --> 06:44:12.780 I'm curious if that was communicated, if it was sheer lack of chance or what that was because the timing was literally perfect. 06:44:14.220 --> 06:44:21.100 Which makes me believe that it's organized because why would Blackbeard shoot the floor when Daemon's flank was in probably 3rd hand here? 06:44:21.100 --> 06:44:23.980 Because once you know each other so well, you don't have to say, 06:44:23.980 --> 06:44:31.940 Hey man, stop for a sec, you're gonna do this, I'm gonna do this, and then we're gonna do that, you don't need to do all that, you just like, hey, spray for me. 06:44:31.940 --> 06:44:35.340 You're flanking with me and spray for me, should the floor in bathroom. 06:44:35.340 --> 06:44:38.780 Yeah, but it's so cool. 06:44:38.780 --> 06:44:42.380 It's like I was saying, like if you're close to the camera that you're watching, the defender 06:44:42.380 --> 06:44:43.380 will hear you go off the camera. 06:44:43.380 --> 06:44:47.900 And when you hear that, your fight of flight kicks in, and you can sprint back down the 06:44:47.900 --> 06:44:50.900 staircase, or it goes for pre-fire on the corner because here's you. 06:44:50.900 --> 06:44:53.940 But when you're glad you're shooting the floor, you're thinking, ah, I got a cat that's gonna 06:44:53.940 --> 06:44:58.020 miss me because it's gonna reload, and the sound of the shots covers the sound of the 06:44:58.020 --> 06:45:01.020 guy going off the cameras, and it's just, it's just beautiful. 06:45:01.020 --> 06:45:11.220 I'm real nightmare now struggling to find anywhere to call home on this defense 06:45:11.220 --> 06:45:16.060 they've tried master they've tried bar and now they go over to dining three 06:45:16.060 --> 06:45:20.140 different bomb sites how long will it take from the defiant one that they can 06:45:20.140 --> 06:45:26.060 say successful soul's heart it comes down to where are they gonna push where's 06:45:26.060 --> 06:45:30.540 this black beard gonna make his way forward and we're scared on the day 06:45:30.540 --> 06:45:32.980 What's he going to be as well? Because he's been pretty deadly. 06:45:33.980 --> 06:45:35.780 I mean, he's been getting in there. 06:45:35.780 --> 06:45:41.540 He's got a small crack in the mosque kitchen window where he can just go and cut the rotation a little bit top floor. 06:45:41.540 --> 06:45:46.780 If he stays there for a full minute, or finds a kill, I'm going to say it's worth it. 06:45:46.780 --> 06:45:50.780 Instead, he tries to have his teammate opening the door for him to get the full picture. 06:45:50.780 --> 06:45:55.180 They don't find the kid, and now I think that player is going to be nullified because now they know. 06:45:55.180 --> 06:45:59.780 Meanwhile, Blackbeard can turn to his library, but there's a lack of support. 06:45:59.780 --> 06:46:00.960 I want to take me to the punch. 06:46:00.960 --> 06:46:03.500 Everyone's on the rule, doing their own thing. 06:46:03.500 --> 06:46:05.300 And then just this punch on Labyrinth Balakrini 06:46:05.300 --> 06:46:07.140 who's bound to jump in solo, I guess. 06:46:07.140 --> 06:46:09.140 Now Mark joins, since that's better. 06:46:09.140 --> 06:46:10.420 And it's 8-down, K-3. 06:46:10.420 --> 06:46:11.420 That's DTH elsewhere. 06:46:11.420 --> 06:46:12.920 Just cover those crosses. 06:46:16.380 --> 06:46:18.420 The problem is, every time that I'm allowed here, 06:46:18.420 --> 06:46:20.340 lose one of these Romans, lose one of these players. 06:46:20.340 --> 06:46:22.180 The other Romans suddenly feel, 06:46:22.180 --> 06:46:24.620 okay, I have to have more of an impact now. 06:46:25.620 --> 06:46:26.980 And more likely to take risks, 06:46:26.980 --> 06:46:28.580 like exactly what we saw from Wag. 06:46:28.580 --> 06:46:31.140 The guy is one and seven. 06:46:31.140 --> 06:46:34.080 The only kill he's got this entire game, 06:46:34.080 --> 06:46:36.940 Pangu, was when he jumped in the library window 06:46:36.940 --> 06:46:39.900 and won the unwinnable gunfight against the guy 06:46:39.900 --> 06:46:42.780 to his hard right playing in the death corner. 06:46:42.780 --> 06:46:44.380 That's the only kill he's got. 06:46:44.380 --> 06:46:45.920 Yeah, they did. 06:46:45.920 --> 06:46:48.060 I mean, he's pretty much the main reason 06:46:48.060 --> 06:46:49.140 why they won that round, 06:46:49.140 --> 06:46:51.780 but man, you can't only have one kill in eight rounds, 06:46:51.780 --> 06:46:52.980 nine rounds now. 06:46:53.860 --> 06:46:56.100 I don't know how many are awkward straight now 06:46:56.100 --> 06:47:00.100 and Shadow has had to fall back to site with the vigil. 06:47:00.100 --> 06:47:08.580 And now Walden Isle, who have maybe some goya flash and toxic babes, but I mean, the second 06:47:08.580 --> 06:47:12.060 Soulsheart sees how much time the Nile they have, they can just flot the bomb site and 06:47:12.060 --> 06:47:16.460 Smoke's actually playing upstairs to mask the bedroom, so this could work out one of 06:47:16.460 --> 06:47:17.460 two ways. 06:47:17.460 --> 06:47:21.540 Either they take top floor with fours, because DV can push it, or they storm the bomb site 06:47:21.540 --> 06:47:25.580 because there's no one guy defending it. 06:47:25.580 --> 06:47:29.860 good angle but no mark is patient and that's key here for souls hard they have 06:47:29.860 --> 06:47:34.620 the advantage no need to go too crazy here come the smokes marking the 06:47:34.620 --> 06:47:37.860 position of the plant he goes in a little bit of an off position big jail 06:47:37.860 --> 06:47:42.060 for a big flick we don't know if they know about him in fact they don't wow 06:47:42.060 --> 06:47:46.700 if I headshot love to see that almost finds a second one but mark has a big 06:47:46.700 --> 06:47:52.340 round on the thermite and three in a row now for souls hard on the attacking 06:47:52.340 --> 06:47:58.660 side. Map point is this to 06:47:58.660 --> 06:47:59.620 behold. Thurmite, uh, fracmite. 06:47:59.620 --> 06:48:01.940 Dude, Mark, again, he's actually just 06:48:01.940 --> 06:48:03.460 illustrating what I was speaking about 06:48:03.460 --> 06:48:05.460 earlier, about how you have a role when 06:48:05.460 --> 06:48:07.380 the round starts and that role will 06:48:07.380 --> 06:48:09.460 change throughout a round. In the 06:48:09.460 --> 06:48:12.260 beginning, he's just droning, then he's 06:48:12.260 --> 06:48:14.420 breaching, and for that, he's the 06:48:14.420 --> 06:48:16.660 entry and the planter and the 06:48:16.660 --> 06:48:18.100 client. He's doing everything else 06:48:18.100 --> 06:48:20.420 because he's now unleashed fully, but 06:48:20.420 --> 06:48:22.260 it's very important he doesn't die 06:48:22.260 --> 06:48:24.260 until he can get off his gadget. 06:48:24.260 --> 06:48:27.660 So, beautiful showcasing right there, souls hard. 06:48:27.660 --> 06:48:29.260 Not sure about the style of that round, 06:48:29.260 --> 06:48:31.380 you know, only having one or two people live for a portion, 06:48:31.380 --> 06:48:32.500 but what they did really well 06:48:32.500 --> 06:48:36.380 is having a master bedroom rappel, office balcony rappel, 06:48:36.380 --> 06:48:39.100 and just cutting the map in these different sizes, 06:48:39.100 --> 06:48:41.020 where if any defender walks into it, 06:48:41.020 --> 06:48:42.260 they'll be as good as that. 06:48:42.260 --> 06:48:44.100 And that's how the guard prefers to fix, 06:48:44.100 --> 06:48:46.180 just kind of facing in the map. 06:48:46.180 --> 06:48:48.700 Unreal Nightmare not comfortable with nothing going on, 06:48:48.700 --> 06:48:50.980 they try to force the play, and get punished. 06:48:52.260 --> 06:49:01.140 Now it's the last Operator Bands to come out, Grim taken out, Denari taken out. 06:49:01.140 --> 06:49:02.140 The Grim was picked twice. 06:49:02.140 --> 06:49:06.900 I don't know if it's been the single instrumental Operator that I would ban here for Under the 06:49:06.900 --> 06:49:07.900 Light. 06:49:07.900 --> 06:49:09.420 Honestly, I just get rid of the Daemons, man. 06:49:09.420 --> 06:49:15.820 It's not everything, but Scatman has insta-locked it every single round and it's not weak by 06:49:15.820 --> 06:49:17.820 any stretch of the imagination. 06:49:17.820 --> 06:49:22.940 I have to agree with you, I think Teimos is not a bad shout. 06:49:22.940 --> 06:49:26.860 They play Blackbeard every round, that's what I'm thinking. 06:49:26.860 --> 06:49:33.100 There is a world where you ban the Maverick and you stop playing some Bandit Kai 2 brush 06:49:33.100 --> 06:49:37.180 in any games, but I don't know if that's what I would do, but it's just an idea that 06:49:37.180 --> 06:49:39.180 you could possibly go for. 06:49:39.180 --> 06:49:43.020 But then again, if you're up against those Hanyu, you know that they're a really good 06:49:43.020 --> 06:49:45.020 team, they probably know how to deal with that, so... 06:49:45.020 --> 06:49:47.780 What's more, obviously the Thorn in the Clash, they already know how to deal with it. 06:49:47.780 --> 06:49:50.700 knew about the denarii now added to that they wouldn't have known about that when 06:49:50.700 --> 06:49:55.040 they made their third operator band and that's three shield counters banned out 06:49:55.040 --> 06:50:00.980 and only now one shield banned by Unreal Nightmare obviously we've seen a lot of 06:50:00.980 --> 06:50:04.140 Blackbeard now we're seeing the Monty which I just think is even better and 06:50:04.140 --> 06:50:07.660 the trend continues. Pengu of teams doing exactly what you've talked about 06:50:07.660 --> 06:50:11.020 several times now which is you don't play the Monty for the first three rounds 06:50:11.020 --> 06:50:14.140 you let it slip through the band phase and then you just install lock at every 06:50:14.140 --> 06:50:18.980 round afterwards. Yeah, I mean, think about this, right? You're up 6-3, and now you can 06:50:18.980 --> 06:50:23.620 abuse Monty as long as you want. Even if he goes overtime, you can keep bringing Monty 06:50:23.620 --> 06:50:28.900 on the attack, and it opens up a whole new avenue of strategies. So we're seeing, you 06:50:28.900 --> 06:50:33.820 know, how free is Snapspace? Monty, so no one's even there. It's just a Monty. That's 06:50:33.820 --> 06:50:38.060 because he's unkillable. If any soul defender would have run into him, nothing happens. 06:50:38.060 --> 06:50:42.540 Aina and though, he does something else. He catches a person off guard once more from 06:50:42.540 --> 06:50:45.980 on the roof watching piano window, watching trough blue window. 06:50:45.980 --> 06:50:50.700 And when you have opening pick, plus one second to pull those up through the bomb site, this 06:50:50.700 --> 06:50:55.980 round can flip very quickly, the finish having no safety space. 06:50:55.980 --> 06:50:59.860 And now Wag is big targeted as well, he's still struggling to get off that bread stick 06:50:59.860 --> 06:51:04.780 and with K3 going down, that means the smokes and the flashes will be even more potent for 06:51:04.780 --> 06:51:05.780 Sol's heart. 06:51:05.780 --> 06:51:10.860 Scatman, that Vendetta can continue to rain out terror horizontally while the rest of 06:51:10.860 --> 06:51:14.460 team focus on attaining library and mezzanine control up above. 06:51:16.860 --> 06:51:22.380 We're just gonna drop again no smokes a single a c4 there's not many ways down the 06:51:22.380 --> 06:51:27.820 montee or stop a plant from being attempted and now they're full top floor if they lock down the 06:51:27.820 --> 06:51:31.340 flanks which they have done pretty well so far. I wouldn't call this a flank because that's like 06:51:31.340 --> 06:51:35.580 the fireplace portion that's like the fitness area by the blue stairs dining hallway etc 06:51:35.580 --> 06:51:40.620 where scapman was playing they cannot do a lot of things do a bit of a mentality work the hatches 06:51:40.620 --> 06:51:45.280 Okay, Biggie just swings up the blue stairs. I guess it's nobody's business take some mark 06:51:45.540 --> 06:51:50.960 I was gonna say they can literally drop in the Bumper window or drop down the hatch and Monty is primed for a planet 06:51:50.960 --> 06:51:54.320 Attempt with the only C4 beans that are far not stock 06:51:54.920 --> 06:51:59.560 I'm not sure they have all the information that needs to display. Oh, he's right below your sky. There you go 06:51:59.800 --> 06:52:06.200 You can't actually aim perfectly down so it can be quite hard to get an angle onto that player if you're directly above them 06:52:06.200 --> 06:52:10.920 but Mr. Punch got it in the end. Thankfully Shadow had no idea about it, but guess what? Big J's down. 06:52:10.920 --> 06:52:15.720 Not gonna make the exact same position. They won't expect the second big C4 on the Scatman, 06:52:15.720 --> 06:52:22.200 but Big J's down the last one left. 1v2 as the top fragger for Unreal Nightmare. Holds the diffuser 06:52:22.200 --> 06:52:29.720 with all his might, big swing from I9, closes the round and puts them up to bed for Sol's heart. 06:52:29.720 --> 06:52:32.840 That's 7-3 on Chalet! 06:52:32.840 --> 06:52:38.320 Console it up next to see if they can knock Unreal Nightmare out of the playoffs! 06:59:29.720 --> 06:59:36.720 They are the best that this region has done to offer! 06:59:42.720 --> 06:59:51.720 A few brief moments from Unreal 9, man, but eventually out of capitulation, Solzha stole the show as soon as they swapped to that attacking side. 06:59:51.720 --> 06:59:58.720 Thank you, and sadly that puts Unreal on there in a very difficult position to try and come back one map down on the series. 06:59:58.720 --> 07:00:01.040 Yeah, that's me, Shiraites. 07:00:01.040 --> 07:00:06.640 Risk assessment is something that will change throughout a map around a series. 07:00:06.640 --> 07:00:11.280 When you're fighting to stay alive in a tournament and you go down the first map, 07:00:11.280 --> 07:00:17.520 how inclined are you to take that risk, make that big play, play off the instinct, no hesitation? 07:00:17.520 --> 07:00:21.040 It might change the conversation, because honestly, on the last year, 07:00:21.040 --> 07:00:24.080 had a really good shot here in the first half. 07:00:24.080 --> 07:00:27.520 But ever since we went onto the second side of the start, as you mentioned, 07:00:27.520 --> 07:00:32.680 all that hope it was lost very relatively quickly and in big thanks it was 07:00:32.680 --> 07:00:38.200 actually mark mark was doing big work on different mind yeah it really did a lot 07:00:38.200 --> 07:00:42.840 of big rounds the Monty coming out in the final round as well love to see it 07:00:42.840 --> 07:00:47.120 we've seen some very good Monty players today not the least of which came from 07:00:47.120 --> 07:00:52.280 like colas earlier on this very map of console at sea if his countryman on 07:00:52.280 --> 07:00:57.740 soul's heart can achieve the same thing. I believe this is soul's heart's map pick. 07:00:57.740 --> 07:01:03.100 In fact as we go to our second and potentially final map of this series 07:01:03.100 --> 07:01:08.140 and maybe even our final map of the day soul's heart look to eliminate Amir and 07:01:08.140 --> 07:01:12.100 Aimee and continue this lower bracket run. 07:01:15.220 --> 07:01:19.220 Monty smoke band delay or when we see the smoke we go and see right her 07:01:19.220 --> 07:01:25.900 Shunger smoke band. We've seen this a couple of times now the last week actually a lot in APL not so much in Europe 07:01:26.780 --> 07:01:32.080 Let's see if they follow through though, because you can't just do smoke plus something else. I love the Monty Bend though 07:01:32.940 --> 07:01:37.840 It makes perfect sense. It was shown only one round, but it goes to show just how strong the operator can be 07:01:38.580 --> 07:01:40.580 Smoke and there we go 07:01:40.660 --> 07:01:48.340 Yeah, Chang'e. I love that. Also the daemons, which we saw a lot. You mentioned that every single round in the first map 07:01:48.340 --> 07:01:53.780 So, what's left in them is the question that the operator picks. 07:01:53.780 --> 07:01:55.860 Let's start listing them, shall we? 07:01:55.860 --> 07:01:57.780 We'll go Operative Operator. 07:01:57.780 --> 07:01:58.780 Okay. 07:01:58.780 --> 07:01:59.780 King. 07:01:59.780 --> 07:02:00.780 Blackbeard. 07:02:00.780 --> 07:02:01.780 Grim. 07:02:01.780 --> 07:02:02.780 Blitz. 07:02:02.780 --> 07:02:03.780 Capitow. 07:02:03.780 --> 07:02:09.340 Alright, let's switch to defense, I'm going to go Mira. 07:02:09.340 --> 07:02:16.180 Oh, now I've got to think, what's really big, honestly, Mira and Electrobros. 07:02:16.180 --> 07:02:21.780 Electro Brass. Is that obvious? Do you think if Bandit Kai eat on Conflict, it's like warranty? 07:02:21.780 --> 07:02:24.580 It's like a big operator? Maybe Kai eat. 07:02:24.580 --> 07:02:27.540 Okay. Bandit. 07:02:27.540 --> 07:02:33.540 Kai eat. I'm gonna say warden because you can do some glass ying stuff if ying was actually 07:02:33.540 --> 07:02:35.780 or ying is obvious. You can do glass ying stuff if you bend the warden. 07:02:35.780 --> 07:02:42.500 Yeah. Solar's pulse belt? I mean it gets less obvious but it depends on what you really want to 07:02:42.500 --> 07:02:49.220 target here, of course. The big story is that a lot of the big power-ups on Attack are open, 07:02:49.220 --> 07:02:54.940 and on Defense, the mirror is open, as are a lot of these other very powerful operators. 07:02:54.940 --> 07:03:00.260 So it really changes the landscape, but funnily enough, as contrasted to what happened in 07:03:00.260 --> 07:03:04.500 the Team Orchid game earlier today, Pengu, where, like Kola said, we saw the smoke to 07:03:04.500 --> 07:03:08.060 check it out, and we were like, okay, let's not play top floor. I'm going to ignite it 07:03:08.060 --> 07:03:10.060 Really go console office 07:03:10.300 --> 07:03:17.860 Yeah, there's a little bit worrying. It's not that it's unwinnable by any means but a big win condition on this top floor 07:03:17.860 --> 07:03:24.860 Bombsite is that you can cut off, you know, direct attacks the plant positions and just kind of when the attackers will 07:03:24.860 --> 07:03:27.700 Three one execute and they push all these different angles 07:03:27.700 --> 07:03:29.460 You can smoke off one or two of them 07:03:29.460 --> 07:03:36.660 You can fire off one or two of them at any moment and that can really disrupt the pushes and make what is a five versus five 07:03:36.660 --> 07:03:41.980 like a five which is three favorite defense so all but surprising as I said 07:03:41.980 --> 07:03:48.020 not unwinnable by any means you got to be black it grimdolls without power 07:03:48.020 --> 07:03:52.420 operating for an hour before toss fuck downstairs the grimdies they say has to 07:03:52.420 --> 07:03:57.580 run away and thankfully survives well the damage done though here comes the 07:03:57.580 --> 07:04:01.540 doggie call recently early on it's not used to the xd to 07:04:01.540 --> 07:04:05.980 accentuate this room clear finally the batteries are cleared on out and that 07:04:05.980 --> 07:04:12.620 means that the Salmas can rattle on through. I expect later on we'll also see a breach on the wall 07:04:12.620 --> 07:04:18.220 into meeting. Here's a question for you. I actually don't know if it's up my head. Is the meeting floor 07:04:18.220 --> 07:04:22.940 next to that breach? That's soft, right? It's the roof of Lobby, so you can destroy a battery from below? 07:04:23.900 --> 07:04:28.780 Yeah, you can. A lot of teams will just bounce a grenade off their EMP from the window at the 07:04:28.780 --> 07:04:33.580 balcony outside, but it's perfectly breakable. The entire bomb set of meeting entries completely 07:04:33.580 --> 07:04:37.960 breakable myself for as we're seeing right now also clearing out thorn traps 07:04:37.960 --> 07:04:41.260 that's a good little extra detail that you could do with the buck oh we might 07:04:41.260 --> 07:04:44.340 even got to clear some of the Vulcan canisters from Goya as well if you 07:04:44.340 --> 07:04:48.780 get the right angles that's why Scamman's been in lobby the entire time in 07:04:48.780 --> 07:04:52.060 bonus file he's watching the flank for buck when he's gone the door could be 07:04:52.060 --> 07:04:56.020 called and a drone and it's giving buck that vertical pressure he can clear a 07:04:56.020 --> 07:04:59.700 certain spots in the bottom side fear the tap is to point it out and honestly 07:04:59.700 --> 07:05:03.300 Oh, is this seller charge to destroy the four-shot midair? 07:05:03.300 --> 07:05:03.800 Wow. 07:05:03.800 --> 07:05:05.600 So if they're here to kill your fire cannons, 07:05:05.600 --> 07:05:06.400 I think they have. 07:05:06.400 --> 07:05:08.300 They have a single C4 planned denial. 07:05:08.300 --> 07:05:10.300 Maybe they can just lock in and once they kill this player, 07:05:10.300 --> 07:05:11.600 they can go for a plan. 07:05:11.600 --> 07:05:12.800 Aggressive play. 07:05:12.800 --> 07:05:13.900 What is that? 07:05:13.900 --> 07:05:16.200 VCH, get off the floor! 07:05:16.200 --> 07:05:19.300 There's a slippery snake, and he's just opened up the round. 07:05:19.300 --> 07:05:19.800 You're right. 07:05:19.800 --> 07:05:23.800 The C4s are so far away, and now Shaz is taken down. 07:05:23.800 --> 07:05:25.400 Under all night, they are being picked to pieces, 07:05:25.400 --> 07:05:27.600 but Big J's found a big kill. 07:05:27.600 --> 07:05:30.680 Wag now has to get active with his shotgun in close range, 07:05:30.680 --> 07:05:34.680 but Mr. Punch is falling back at DCH if all else fails, 07:05:34.680 --> 07:05:37.200 will deny the counter-D-Fuse from down below, 07:05:37.200 --> 07:05:39.680 which allows Solzhard to play so passively. 07:05:39.680 --> 07:05:42.760 Wag gets on that defuse at DCH, will kill him from below, 07:05:42.760 --> 07:05:45.280 and find the final player as well. 07:05:45.280 --> 07:05:49.000 It's a phenomenal start to conceal it for Solzhard. 07:05:50.280 --> 07:05:51.480 It's a very beautiful attack. 07:05:51.480 --> 07:05:56.000 I do think that if you go far enough back, like seven years, 07:05:56.000 --> 07:06:01.760 buck was played every round on every map and you're doing vertical attacks every single round 07:06:01.760 --> 07:06:06.560 then the defender made a start changing to like extending and roaming and obviously new overdisk 07:06:06.560 --> 07:06:11.040 command and stuff like that. I feel like we don't see a lot of buck these days and used the way 07:06:11.040 --> 07:06:17.040 Sol's heart just used theirs. It was a very high in value right? You get the bandit cleared from 07:06:17.040 --> 07:06:22.080 copy or a copy size break room that could have gotten you a kill. It didn't but it forced back 07:06:22.080 --> 07:06:27.680 the bandit, you shot the bandit battery, says Kai-Ko, and then you got map control. Then you 07:06:27.680 --> 07:06:32.960 break apart, the default plans will really shoot the thorn trap, seal the close positions, and you 07:06:32.960 --> 07:06:39.520 can play the post. What gives you so much value? Now obviously Unreal Nightmare didn't recognize 07:06:39.520 --> 07:06:44.400 that block was gonna be a big factor. They had no roaming presence downstairs, and when they realized 07:06:44.400 --> 07:06:49.680 it was too little too late because Scaffin or Dokkaebi was perfect on the flangwatch. And the 07:06:49.680 --> 07:06:54.800 moment that Dokkebi has to go up the spiral staircase to exit on the bomb side, Bok actually 07:06:54.800 --> 07:06:59.840 left Lopi, came up to visit staircase and helped the Blackbeak get the initial frag covered, 07:06:59.840 --> 07:07:04.720 and once the bomb is down, he goes back downstairs, become his own time watcher and post-penter. 07:07:04.720 --> 07:07:08.880 So there are so many small minutes that is happening from a single player of DCH, 07:07:08.880 --> 07:07:14.240 but the entire team is working around him, understanding who the key operator is, 07:07:14.240 --> 07:07:15.600 and when we have to help each other. 07:07:19.680 --> 07:07:28.680 Is there a respectable goal to go for a peak like that for Shadow, even when you're going up against Solzhard, who just rolled over you, not just for the first round. 07:07:28.680 --> 07:07:34.680 But on Shadow it was five rounds in a row that Solzhard decimated. 07:07:34.680 --> 07:07:39.680 So this is essentially a six round win streak for Solzhard across the series. 07:07:39.680 --> 07:07:49.520 serious curious here what they are looking to do with the yokai is getting very active the 07:07:49.520 --> 07:07:52.160 a la lines when they're definitely trying to counter the shield play 07:07:52.160 --> 07:07:55.920 you can see that the spare brist come off but you see me so good in the first one gets the 07:07:55.920 --> 07:08:00.960 injury on the second they're like those that's like spare christmas pocket a second flank 07:08:00.960 --> 07:08:05.840 watch it down on visa hallway unreal nightmare they're fighting back the jatsy yokai drones but 07:08:05.840 --> 07:08:09.480 they're being picked apart where they have no information so they're so 07:08:09.480 --> 07:08:14.760 busy about the ecodrome call-outs that they forget about the flanks big Jay 07:08:14.760 --> 07:08:19.640 wants to go for something big Jay was big they have to on shall I think 11 or 07:08:19.640 --> 07:08:25.920 12 kills across the map and he's now being watched by a drone there is one 07:08:25.920 --> 07:08:29.240 on top of the yellow stairs on the flank watch now he's just heard that 07:08:29.240 --> 07:08:33.140 Elamide detonate the blitz is now chasing him down he'll hear that in a 07:08:33.140 --> 07:08:38.800 moment. One view on the Blitz, there are worse operators to be, but he does manage to get 07:08:38.800 --> 07:08:45.500 back just in time. Oh wow, he's going for more! That's very risky! Big J has some serious 07:08:45.500 --> 07:08:50.380 balls to go through a fight like that. Mr. Punch didn't have his flash ready yet, he 07:08:50.380 --> 07:08:55.660 was mid reload. But if we get the flash back, then surely Mr. Punch will be able to finish 07:08:55.660 --> 07:09:02.300 him off. Never mind. Big J is running amok, he's taking down Mark as well. Now he's below 07:09:02.300 --> 07:09:05.500 the hatch, I mean this guy said we were finally shut down by Aina and he was going to drop 07:09:05.500 --> 07:09:10.620 the hatch as well, he says help, get the Blitz in the actions with the old guy, he goes 07:09:10.620 --> 07:09:11.620 what? 07:09:11.620 --> 07:09:15.260 That must have been a misclick, doesn't matter, Mr. Punch will trade it on back, the 07:09:15.260 --> 07:09:19.780 Fuse can be re-collected back up, Wag has been spotted and it's an easy final kill for 07:09:19.780 --> 07:09:24.740 Scatman and Solzha goes back to back on the attack. 07:09:24.740 --> 07:09:30.740 Oh why, I love the pacer in there from Aina and gets the kill, jumps down and just styles 07:09:30.740 --> 07:09:35.060 on them. Blitz thankfully came in to assist to get a good trade going. They had shot two of the 07:09:35.060 --> 07:09:40.580 Okas on the roam and the final Yokai on the bomb site. Aynan took it down right before thawing himself. 07:09:41.140 --> 07:09:48.580 So good value throughout the entirety of that round. This is scary territory because this is 07:09:48.580 --> 07:09:53.780 usually a very defender favorite map and it doesn't feel like Unreal Nightmare have figured out how to 07:09:54.580 --> 07:09:59.300 control the pace at the minute. Usually it's hard to get in the building and take map control and 07:09:59.300 --> 07:10:03.380 work step one step two that has not been the case with souls heart they're 07:10:03.380 --> 07:10:07.780 immediately in the building spit theory in the doors in the windows playing 07:10:07.780 --> 07:10:12.260 game they are everywhere they're swarming the building and we spoke about all the 07:10:12.260 --> 07:10:15.780 power ups that are open right we've seen grim being played we've seen 07:10:15.780 --> 07:10:20.780 scab arms being dogged be every round bunch black it most of the rounds these 07:10:20.780 --> 07:10:25.180 are just excellent heroes while demos gets you a tracker and a single defender 07:10:25.180 --> 07:10:32.700 They'll be calls five phones and blackbeard is so hard to clear in the room unless you are very specific operator has come up to 07:10:39.940 --> 07:10:41.940 One thing I'm loving about 07:10:42.320 --> 07:10:45.800 Some of the recent updates and balancing changes, which I like the first thing 07:10:45.800 --> 07:10:48.660 I'd like that we just getting them more frequently and small well 07:10:48.660 --> 07:10:53.420 We're gonna be the big operator we work. We can just be like hey, let's give pulse the Reaper for example 07:10:53.420 --> 07:10:59.780 I really love all these secondary machine pistols being added to a lot of operators that now gives you a bit more freedom 07:11:00.200 --> 07:11:07.600 We're seeing thorns always had it that like because she has C75 now. We're seeing a shotgun played. They made 70s a great shotgun 07:11:07.700 --> 07:11:11.300 We're seeing pulse study come back as well. The Reaper is not bad 07:11:12.100 --> 07:11:14.460 now Shaz is running that pulse this round and 07:11:15.380 --> 07:11:19.660 That's one of the few ways that you really can take down the blackbeard quite easily 07:11:19.660 --> 07:11:25.260 Blackbeard's already a slow operator. If you get below him, if you get the scan off, you might be able to land that save form. 07:11:30.740 --> 07:11:35.140 You get an epic for free. It's a great group. It's a castle barricade. 07:11:35.140 --> 07:11:39.660 I mean, but this is a thing. Blackbeard got nerfed not that long ago. It's a very minor one. 07:11:39.660 --> 07:11:42.620 It's three instead of four dashes in his primary gadget. 07:11:42.620 --> 07:11:49.620 So double punching down the castle barricade nine times with the block is a lot more valuable than spending a third of your gadget charge. 07:11:49.660 --> 07:11:54.980 on simply breaking one castle barricade. So I like the fact that they're holding 07:11:54.980 --> 07:11:58.980 this saying there are more important things later on. The only scenario where 07:11:58.980 --> 07:12:02.300 Blackbeard can go aggressive on the entry in those close quarter fights is as 07:12:02.300 --> 07:12:06.140 long as he's sketched it off. If he has no charges left he'll just get mailed and 07:12:06.140 --> 07:12:11.420 die whereas when you use the gadget it actually takes priority over and 07:12:11.420 --> 07:12:14.500 it's in the mailing. So if you get mailed as blackbeard instantly 07:12:14.500 --> 07:12:18.500 clicks your gadget button you don't get stunned, you stun them. But if you don't 07:12:18.500 --> 07:12:23.780 have that impossibility you might be just die. And it's quite hard to use to be 07:12:23.780 --> 07:12:30.140 honest. Like to win and I fight. Wow. Okay. Stare of death for Mr. Punch as he just 07:12:30.140 --> 07:12:35.740 looks down at K3 before DCH threads the needle, takes his head clean off. Now 07:12:35.740 --> 07:12:40.860 Wag is in such a pivotal position here on the single wall and CEO. He needs to 07:12:40.860 --> 07:12:44.340 make sure he can fight for as long as possible but the pulse isn't gonna be 07:12:44.340 --> 07:12:48.780 much help he's really much more of a vertical operator. Wag is forced back, 07:12:48.780 --> 07:12:54.000 DCH and Mr. Punch together. I can make this a real hell of a position that 07:12:54.000 --> 07:12:58.760 Big J does finally take down that Blackbeard. Shaz though comes back and 07:12:58.760 --> 07:13:02.480 finds a kill of the Reaper before falling back. Enough might have been done here by 07:13:02.480 --> 07:13:04.740 Unreal Nightmare. 07:13:04.740 --> 07:13:08.420 When I say to cross-blast in the attack, there's one view, one view, one view, one 07:13:08.420 --> 07:13:13.320 and I make good of it. Thine's shadow downstairs. There's Mark above with the 07:13:13.320 --> 07:13:17.160 defuse it with 25 seconds either got to get back into lobby very quickly here 07:13:17.160 --> 07:13:21.360 guys or drop down that piano hatch it could be a 3-2-1 angle for kill well 07:13:21.360 --> 07:13:24.440 as I say that they go lobby with yellows just back to that 07:13:24.440 --> 07:13:28.680 Oh big Jane needed to win that fight he's won so many 1v1s in this game so far 07:13:28.680 --> 07:13:30.600 he's in to beat that one might not matter 07:13:30.600 --> 07:13:33.400 Mercy 4B he's got the shotgun which means he might better get the angle but now 07:13:33.400 --> 07:13:37.240 they know about it he can reposition they should be out of tonight as plants 07:13:37.240 --> 07:13:42.200 the fuser is on the ground there's no time and they couldn't hunt for the kill 07:13:42.200 --> 07:13:45.880 A massive clutch for Shaz and Unreal Nightmare. 07:13:45.880 --> 07:13:48.560 Finally, stop depleting. 07:13:50.480 --> 07:13:52.360 A little bit of panic in the server. 07:13:52.360 --> 07:13:54.720 There's concrete floor inside piano 07:13:54.720 --> 07:13:56.760 with technically enough time to get there 07:13:56.760 --> 07:13:58.000 if you really wanted to. 07:13:58.000 --> 07:13:59.200 And I knew that yellow was clear 07:13:59.200 --> 07:14:01.240 because Scabman got the kill earlier. 07:14:01.240 --> 07:14:04.400 I think just a little bit too low timer 07:14:04.400 --> 07:14:08.120 to make the right decision, hoping for the best thing. 07:14:08.120 --> 07:14:10.880 So he just tracks the planter, confirms the kill. 07:14:10.880 --> 07:14:15.580 Huge clutch. I mean that was a no-seek for Pulse thankfully playing the shotgun 07:14:15.740 --> 07:14:19.820 And you mentioned how you can make a thorn shotgun and pull a shock with the second there is in D's 07:14:20.060 --> 07:14:25.220 And that is a UMP pulse. You might just hit this steel bar behalf those shots and it's a different story 07:14:26.740 --> 07:14:30.060 That's a big round though. I mean, that's the first time the last 07:14:30.820 --> 07:14:32.820 nine rounds I think 07:14:33.300 --> 07:14:38.220 Eight rounds the first and the last eight rounds that we've seen unreal nightmare 07:14:38.220 --> 07:14:42.800 win any round and now they immediately take their tactical timeout time to have 07:14:42.800 --> 07:14:48.140 a little bit of a chat get back on that horse ready to one down on the defense 07:14:48.140 --> 07:14:51.620 you need to be winning this defensive half you can't afford to lose a single 07:14:51.620 --> 07:14:57.020 defense from here on out worst case now you go 33 maybe you'll come out ahead on 07:14:57.020 --> 07:15:01.140 your attacking half but I don't really have a lot of confidence for I'm gonna 07:15:01.140 --> 07:15:04.900 like that it do so they need the four to split here which means going for us 07:15:04.900 --> 07:15:11.020 from here on out. That's also why this is a perfect time for a tactical timeout 07:15:11.020 --> 07:15:14.600 because now they can discuss what game we've seen what they're bringing, we've 07:15:14.600 --> 07:15:18.700 seen their playstyle. Let's discuss the counterstaffs. If it's the shield that stays 07:15:18.700 --> 07:15:23.780 shield or the entries, play trap operators and play those crossfires. This set up 07:15:23.780 --> 07:15:28.180 right here in CEO, then a player in connector and then a player on that book 07:15:28.180 --> 07:15:32.380 shelf. The bug is going to be traded no matter what that's a 2v1 gunfight. They need 07:15:32.380 --> 07:15:38.220 more of that on punchlet because a lot of people on defense early right now are dying like we have 07:15:38.220 --> 07:15:41.980 thorn swing the meeting door against the blackbeard because they heard the thorn trap go off they get 07:15:41.980 --> 07:15:45.980 instantly free fire because there's a teammate behind the blackbeard holding the door swing 07:15:45.980 --> 07:15:50.300 i mean soulsheart are not stupid they know there's a thorn and they know that blackbeard can kind of 07:15:50.300 --> 07:15:57.660 avoid the gadget and they're not gonna sit even solo so more crossfires more traps more shoot play 07:15:57.660 --> 07:16:03.260 Try and force Solzhard to stay against the traps with shield, which is disadvantageous, 07:16:03.260 --> 07:16:07.900 or have them go away from the shields, which you might just fare better against. 07:16:16.220 --> 07:16:21.100 Top floor defense, smoke, Tachanka, Goyo down. 07:16:21.100 --> 07:16:28.060 soul's heart, show me some of the fire that you promised in that Operator Vito. 07:16:28.060 --> 07:16:32.220 First though they're gonna have to deal with this potentially aggressive Shaz 07:16:32.220 --> 07:16:37.260 from down below after a clutch like that is gonna be fired up and keen to try and 07:16:37.260 --> 07:16:42.260 get active. Onyx seems none the wiser, he's untrown at the moment. If K3 can get 07:16:42.260 --> 07:16:47.540 that info it'll be a quick call. Now he's watching, Shaz might have heard 07:16:47.540 --> 07:16:54.740 Scatman just running outside. Oh my god. Did you not see the crack in the window? How does he not see that? 07:16:55.460 --> 07:17:00.100 They have no idea. He must be... He's looking off to the very bottom. That's the issue. 07:17:00.980 --> 07:17:05.700 So he's looking off the lot. Oh my god. They see your holes where a different defender is playing from. 07:17:05.700 --> 07:17:09.540 So try this chance and just force him to straight out of the piece of give-off to be honest. 07:17:10.340 --> 07:17:17.220 Yeah and then eventually... Oh what? Okay. K3 just swings the angle from outside the yellow stairs. 07:17:17.220 --> 07:17:19.540 So eventually they do get the run out onto I9. 07:17:22.100 --> 07:17:23.300 All the time wasted here. 07:17:24.020 --> 07:17:27.620 Soulsheart try and pit it, they go for an admin take instead, but Mr. Punch will fall. 07:17:27.620 --> 07:17:29.140 No ram, they yank. 07:17:29.780 --> 07:17:31.940 What is the strat here from Soulsheart? 07:17:32.820 --> 07:17:33.620 Very disjointed. 07:17:33.620 --> 07:17:34.260 I'm not sure. 07:17:35.140 --> 07:17:37.780 I mean, they have gone away from the shield operators, right? 07:17:37.780 --> 07:17:41.380 Much because they saw the defender line up and wanted to give utility, but... 07:17:42.100 --> 07:17:45.140 Why do they have a ram on a top floor attack? 07:17:45.140 --> 07:17:46.580 That was like my biggest question. 07:17:47.220 --> 07:17:50.540 And K3 is farming them, and he gives us these acropeaks, you know what? 07:17:50.540 --> 07:17:53.060 Confidence boys, play with confidence, you're better than this. 07:17:53.820 --> 07:17:54.740 And they make a show. 07:18:00.020 --> 07:18:04.340 Man, poor Mark, he's like, where can I stand? Is this safe? Is this safe? 07:18:05.540 --> 07:18:08.420 The impact from down below, putting him under a hell of a lot of pressure. 07:18:08.420 --> 07:18:14.460 Big J, back in form again, great shots with the MP7, L mark, 1v5. 07:18:15.100 --> 07:18:15.900 1v3. 07:18:17.220 --> 07:18:29.220 Maybe, maybe winnable. He's playing Capitance, got a stack of utility, he's got plenty of options to try and burn those lasers, but this crossfire is pretty rough. 07:18:30.220 --> 07:18:34.220 You can try and nullify the crossfire with some smokes and fire, I don't mind this idea. 07:18:38.220 --> 07:18:44.220 He can even destroy the shield with the GON6 as well. I mean he's actually got so much utility to try and make this work. 07:18:44.220 --> 07:18:46.220 He's out of fire. 07:18:46.220 --> 07:18:49.220 So unfortunately, he won't be able to clear the vending position. 07:18:49.220 --> 07:18:54.220 25 seconds to go and yes, not likely to happen. 07:18:55.220 --> 07:18:57.220 Gonna try his best. Got the lasers now. 07:18:57.220 --> 07:19:01.220 Knows don't pay your crossbow so the team finds that pig as well. 07:19:01.220 --> 07:19:07.220 10 seconds though and they got the shotgun closed shooting through the smoke of a sound cue to confirm the round. 07:19:07.220 --> 07:19:11.220 Unreal Nightmare fight back with confidence and aggression. 07:19:11.220 --> 07:19:16.740 And I mean after attack timeout that looks like a very conscious effort there not just a random swing 07:19:19.380 --> 07:19:27.140 Well two in a row now for unreal nightmare. Oh, it actually wasn't a runout. It was just swinging downstairs for the solos a k3 07:19:30.500 --> 07:19:31.700 It's interesting to me 07:19:31.700 --> 07:19:34.740 Like you look at solos are banning the jank of the smoke in the goya 07:19:34.820 --> 07:19:38.500 You think that they're gonna be going for these executes, but they're just so afraid to do so 07:19:38.500 --> 07:19:43.020 You look at the lineup that round bandit thorn solace denari 07:19:43.660 --> 07:19:47.020 Azami that is not like you don't have a lot of plant another you got no C4s 07:19:47.020 --> 07:19:53.060 You don't you got thorn tracks. You got Azamis like yeah, but I know I feel like if souls heart 07:19:53.060 --> 07:19:55.780 Maybe went for something a bit more directs. Maybe they would have had a bit more success 07:19:56.500 --> 07:20:01.540 Hey, I'll he did a counter to offer a tech CEO to shangas band ram 07:20:02.340 --> 07:20:07.420 What's the run do my only theory is the ram was like to go through it like a hot breach style thing 07:20:07.420 --> 07:20:15.820 Okay, Sledge has grenades. The thing is, we have seen, maybe I've seen it twice only 07:20:15.820 --> 07:20:20.920 myself. If you want to counter his Tashanka, so what you do, you ban the smoke, you do 07:20:20.920 --> 07:20:27.520 the COD for attack, if you ram drone the floor of the COD, Tashanka's fire will with a high 07:20:27.520 --> 07:20:32.360 likelihood fall down through the beams and land in piano. And we've actually seen teams 07:20:32.360 --> 07:20:36.680 use that strat to counter the plant or counter the plant denial rather but 07:20:36.680 --> 07:20:40.520 Tshanka is banned so that's not gonna give you much, even though you're banned 07:20:40.520 --> 07:20:45.000 and it didn't use your attack so I'm just not sure about the ram but it's been a 07:20:45.000 --> 07:20:48.240 lot of time positioning outside to your botane to go for an attack and then 07:20:48.240 --> 07:20:51.640 changing their mind and going for admin which yeah and then you're walking into 07:20:51.640 --> 07:20:57.840 all these scenario lasers and I feel like yeah send your shield down yellow 07:20:57.840 --> 07:21:03.040 stairs and focus up maybe one person repelling meeting window and focus up on 07:21:03.040 --> 07:21:06.400 the CEO windows like once you clear see yo you should be out of plant for free 07:21:06.400 --> 07:21:10.480 anyway it's not gonna happen again in this half so I guess it won't matter 07:21:10.480 --> 07:21:14.640 maybe if we hit overtime we'll see it but it's funny souls heart don't make a 07:21:14.640 --> 07:21:21.880 lot of sense sometimes mixed signals I do want to believe those there and 07:21:21.880 --> 07:21:25.240 intent with it it's not only mistral to bombs that I thought guys is a basement 07:21:25.240 --> 07:21:29.880 attack and then you know but but I'm not gonna go there just yet so we do the 07:21:29.880 --> 07:21:35.520 Chris big chain they keep farming takes an eye nine on the ram the vert 07:21:35.520 --> 07:21:39.720 operator but these he strikes back with a trade and he's the other vert up off 07:21:39.720 --> 07:21:43.760 buck so they can still get that destruction go in they can still utilize 07:21:43.760 --> 07:21:48.240 the map control they've gained and they got the blitz so they have push they 07:21:48.240 --> 07:21:52.920 have planned they have reached they have vert so sort of all the right tools for 07:21:52.920 --> 07:21:57.960 round to go well, but there are two C4s waiting with those Valkhams and they're going to go fishing 07:21:57.960 --> 07:22:02.680 the second source of interest piano. Yeah, not only are their Valkhams also the soloist, so both 07:22:03.480 --> 07:22:07.800 information gathering operators that can not only land C4s, but just look for play opportunities in 07:22:07.800 --> 07:22:19.880 general. Can you claw down? Time to get to work on the breach. Is that C4 onto the pillar? Or is 07:22:19.880 --> 07:22:26.880 I think the breach was closed on the top so it must have been on the verticality I think. 07:22:26.880 --> 07:22:34.680 In a way, there's only one that's remaining so honestly, blitz could take the fuser either 07:22:34.680 --> 07:22:39.680 yellow or outside the main breach and go for a plant attempt if they want to take the 4v4 07:22:39.680 --> 07:22:43.640 or they smoke off a couple of angles, push deep into the bottom side and go for kills 07:22:43.640 --> 07:22:44.640 before a plant gets tried. 07:22:44.640 --> 07:22:48.720 I'm going to get the hatch now, it's going to be put on the soft wall upstairs and it's 07:22:48.720 --> 07:22:51.180 He's gonna have the A-week explosion taken on the hatch as well. 07:22:51.180 --> 07:22:51.680 Beautiful. 07:22:51.680 --> 07:22:55.180 No, opens up some very deep angles into the kitchen bomb site as well. 07:22:55.180 --> 07:22:57.100 Thing is, the 2-brow here is actually perfect. 07:22:57.100 --> 07:22:58.800 Never mind, the 2-brow is dead! 07:22:58.800 --> 07:23:00.300 A second one found! 07:23:00.300 --> 07:23:02.140 Scarman is farming! 07:23:02.140 --> 07:23:05.340 He finds the gap and he hunts them down one by one. 07:23:05.340 --> 07:23:08.800 Full versus 1 now is K3 upstairs on the flank. 07:23:08.800 --> 07:23:10.800 He finds DCH. 07:23:10.800 --> 07:23:14.640 Solzato have plenty of safe plant position opportunities and while they're- 07:23:14.640 --> 07:23:16.640 oh 07:23:23.920 --> 07:23:27.360 Rip k3 even he was laughing 07:23:29.660 --> 07:23:32.180 Okay, well um 07:23:33.640 --> 07:23:35.640 Well played he was up to no health 07:23:36.860 --> 07:23:42.640 Well played from souls heart. Let's just forget how that ended. Let's save K3D and I said I'm not talking about it 07:23:44.640 --> 07:23:52.320 I mean, it's a good old case of, you know, DCH, Scatman, there are 2 weeks in the heavy 07:23:52.320 --> 07:23:57.600 lifting this round, finding the trade onto I9, toppling down on self-destruction, and 07:23:57.600 --> 07:24:01.600 Scatman finding the perfect gap on bottom spiral. 07:24:01.600 --> 07:24:06.240 I mean, without that 3-piece, that's anybody's round, but so is Flankin. 07:24:06.240 --> 07:24:10.640 But when you find those 3 killers, there's nothing you can do. 07:24:10.640 --> 07:24:15.160 Yeah, wow, that was a round. 07:24:15.160 --> 07:24:18.800 Really well played from Solzak. 07:24:18.800 --> 07:24:23.160 I'm still trying to process what K3 did. 07:24:23.160 --> 07:24:25.720 Oh, poor guy, I got caught in 4k. 07:24:25.720 --> 07:24:30.880 Now there's a chance for unreliable, the last chance I should say, to win a defensive round. 07:24:30.880 --> 07:24:35.840 We said they need the 4-2 split to have a really solid chance at winning this map, and 07:24:35.840 --> 07:24:36.840 hence the series. 07:24:36.840 --> 07:24:42.120 and staying in the tournament but I mean if things don't go perfectly then they 07:24:42.120 --> 07:24:47.840 might as well go decently and a 3-3-1 half would still very much be decent on 07:24:47.840 --> 07:24:49.840 real nightmare. 07:24:55.840 --> 07:24:58.840 A little bit of alibi, a little bit of mutes. 07:24:59.840 --> 07:25:03.840 Do you think there's a world where they're expecting a solace then? 07:25:06.840 --> 07:25:07.720 What did you say, Snake? 07:25:07.720 --> 07:25:08.920 I don't think I'm gonna... 07:25:08.920 --> 07:25:13.080 Atta by Antmute, do you reckon that the expected I-9 to bring up the Solar Snake? 07:25:13.080 --> 07:25:16.440 Oh, I thought you said SOLOUS. I was so confused. Yeah, SOLOUS Snake. 07:25:16.440 --> 07:25:17.400 Oh, he meant this. 07:25:17.400 --> 07:25:19.480 No, no, I think it's just, you know... 07:25:20.360 --> 07:25:20.760 DINGLISH. 07:25:22.200 --> 07:25:22.680 DINGLISH. 07:25:23.560 --> 07:25:24.760 SOLOUS Snake. 07:25:24.760 --> 07:25:25.960 No, you're right, you're right. 07:25:25.960 --> 07:25:27.640 Um, yeah, look, I don't... 07:25:28.200 --> 07:25:29.400 I don't mind that. 07:25:29.400 --> 07:25:30.520 Yeah, maybe. 07:25:30.520 --> 07:25:31.880 I don't know, I feel like... 07:25:31.880 --> 07:25:33.240 It's not great, but it's something. 07:25:34.280 --> 07:25:35.480 Oh, almost a pick. 07:25:36.840 --> 07:25:45.840 Yeah, I've seen a little bit of Alibi in Ranks, but I think in Ranks it's not likely to be the Solar Snake, it's just people don't know what they're doing in Ranks. 07:25:45.840 --> 07:25:55.840 But yeah, I mean, maybe, I don't know where he put them, but yes, I guess if you put some in Admin, kind of a little bit all over the place, it might make things a little bit slower for the Solar Snake. 07:25:55.840 --> 07:26:02.840 But yeah, I just don't know if its value is worth it over something, like a Solar, for example, which we've seen played plenty. 07:26:02.840 --> 07:26:10.060 I know that one of the invaders is from the spiral one was meeting door earlier and they're 07:26:10.060 --> 07:26:19.400 fighting all across map shock I know was basically full HP he only suffers half his health bar 07:26:19.400 --> 07:26:23.680 and that's gonna kind of stop push now and he wants more yeah my man is looking to make 07:26:23.680 --> 07:26:28.440 up for the fact that the impact himself last rounds you might actually gotta get these 07:26:28.440 --> 07:26:35.560 DCH thought he'd gone down the stairs and was looking for him on the vert. 07:26:35.560 --> 07:26:41.920 Eventually Mr. Punch shuts him down 3v4 though, I don't know, souls hot. 07:26:41.920 --> 07:26:45.040 Another very wonky looking round on the attack. 07:26:45.040 --> 07:26:50.080 Yep, from so good to, well, less good. 07:26:50.080 --> 07:26:53.720 They can still kind of make up for it if they find the guy in top spiral and get this wallbang 07:26:53.720 --> 07:26:54.720 with the yellow thing. 07:26:54.720 --> 07:26:56.720 Oh, so close! 07:27:02.960 --> 07:27:06.560 Nice shot from Mr. Punch. Man knows the tech with the Blackbeard. 07:27:06.560 --> 07:27:11.120 The Big J! He's been so good! Another flashbang surely he'll be finished off. 07:27:11.120 --> 07:27:14.800 It's a 1v1 now. Big J on the floor with the hit fire through the wall. 07:27:14.800 --> 07:27:20.320 Shaz versus Scatman. And there was a camera on Scatman down below. 07:27:20.320 --> 07:27:22.800 He doesn't have that diffuser. There's no lot of time remaining. 07:27:22.800 --> 07:27:26.240 He's going to have to grab it and go back to site, but Shaz has done the same. 07:27:26.240 --> 07:27:29.840 Shaz is back into the objective and waiting and watching. 07:27:29.840 --> 07:27:36.040 It is in the end of it, a 3-3, even half for Unreal Nightmare as we look to the second 07:27:36.040 --> 07:27:37.840 after this halftime vibe check. 07:29:22.800 --> 07:29:51.160 Ah, wow, a tense moment. Such a tense moment. And that music really just reminds us how 07:29:51.160 --> 07:30:02.160 Tense. This game is, right now, 3-3. It's even, can't split these two teams on consulates so far, but it's time to finish up this half. 07:30:05.160 --> 07:30:08.160 That's the vibe you're getting. Tense? 07:30:08.160 --> 07:30:09.160 Yep. 07:30:10.160 --> 07:30:11.160 Okay. 07:30:15.160 --> 07:30:17.160 Thorn- Thornbend again! 07:30:17.160 --> 07:30:21.000 We have seen a two-game thorn ban. 07:30:21.000 --> 07:30:21.960 Let it be known. 07:30:22.860 --> 07:30:23.700 I don't remember it. 07:30:23.700 --> 07:30:24.540 I don't remember it. 07:30:24.540 --> 07:30:25.380 I don't know what's up, bro. 07:30:25.380 --> 07:30:26.220 It's April 11th. 07:30:26.220 --> 07:30:27.060 I don't remember it. 07:30:27.060 --> 07:30:28.700 It's gone back to back thorn trap. 07:30:28.700 --> 07:30:32.140 They have heard your prayers, James. 07:30:32.140 --> 07:30:34.660 Okay, because I know that you despise Operating Rank, 07:30:34.660 --> 07:30:37.020 and you shared your troubles with it. 07:30:37.020 --> 07:30:39.260 Once you got rewrites in, this is annoying. 07:30:39.260 --> 07:30:40.380 It's difficult. 07:30:40.380 --> 07:30:41.620 It's ruining my ranked games. 07:30:41.620 --> 07:30:42.860 They say we agree, 07:30:42.860 --> 07:30:44.860 and they probably won't have you choose against it. 07:30:44.860 --> 07:30:49.860 How did they go on the attacking side on Shelly? 07:30:49.860 --> 07:30:51.860 Did they play well? 07:30:51.860 --> 07:30:53.860 They played well on the attacking side on Shelly? 07:30:53.860 --> 07:30:55.860 Not, not, not, you know. 07:30:55.860 --> 07:30:56.860 They went 3 for 3. 07:30:56.860 --> 07:30:58.860 I think it was the defense when they were in improvement. 07:30:58.860 --> 07:30:59.860 Sure. 07:30:59.860 --> 07:31:01.860 How'd they go on the defensive side on Shelly? 07:31:01.860 --> 07:31:03.860 They got 0 out of 4 attempts. 07:31:03.860 --> 07:31:04.860 And they got 3. 07:31:04.860 --> 07:31:05.860 From my point still stands. 07:31:05.860 --> 07:31:07.860 They got from 3 out of 6 here. 07:31:07.860 --> 07:31:10.860 It's better than they did on Shelly, but yeah, I don't know. 07:31:10.860 --> 07:31:13.860 But it's also a much stronger defender side of map, right? 07:31:13.860 --> 07:31:34.860 3 is actually okay if you then do pretty good in your attacking side, but getting 3 attacks is a lot more statistically unlikely for a lot of different teams, although I will say, I imagine not the biggest ban of the slow camp and the shunka ban, because the game is not about finishing a return, value of different 07:31:34.860 --> 07:31:41.500 cobbler the banter and everything to one basket. I liked it due to Shanka plus Thorn, because now 07:31:41.500 --> 07:31:45.580 they're kind of limiting the enemies in two different areas. A little bit of injury, a little bit 07:31:45.580 --> 07:31:51.100 of planting now, shields are better, injuries are better. Happy days! Soulsheart, we're gonna start 07:31:51.100 --> 07:31:55.580 upstairs and they're looking at a very default lineup, like nothing really stands out, except 07:31:55.580 --> 07:32:01.180 she may be off the Kaid. I think that's a very wishy-washy, some bring it, some don't. And there 07:32:01.180 --> 07:32:08.180 There are actually high clots you can put inside the building that covers that messy wall that cannot get Renaded from outside. 07:32:08.180 --> 07:32:15.180 There are a lot of Frag grenades in these teams, but account them 2, 4, 6, 8 Frag grenades in this round. 07:32:15.180 --> 07:32:16.180 That's a lot. 07:32:16.180 --> 07:32:17.180 That's a lot of damage. 07:32:17.180 --> 07:32:23.180 My problem with just the Tachanka ban not backed up with the smoke is, you got Smoke and Glare. 07:32:23.180 --> 07:32:25.180 You're still not going for a... 07:32:25.180 --> 07:32:26.180 Yeah. 07:32:26.180 --> 07:32:29.180 You still got Plantarite, you still got Aries now, you still got Tandoly. 07:32:29.180 --> 07:32:33.420 banning the shank it doesn't mean much because they got two other operators to go and utilize. 07:32:33.420 --> 07:32:38.340 Now it turns out it's just a bit of a quick spray from Mr. Punch to find the first kills. 07:32:38.340 --> 07:32:40.940 K3 goes down, no more daemons. 07:32:40.940 --> 07:32:44.140 And how many nades do we have now? 07:32:44.140 --> 07:32:47.940 Uh, two, four, five. 07:32:47.940 --> 07:32:48.940 Nice. 07:32:48.940 --> 07:32:49.940 You are good at maths. 07:32:49.940 --> 07:32:50.940 Yeah. 07:32:50.940 --> 07:32:54.460 Well, the similar ones I can navigate when it gets more complicated, brain shots won't 07:32:54.460 --> 07:32:55.460 immediately. 07:32:55.460 --> 07:32:56.460 Two minutes, three nades. 07:32:56.460 --> 07:33:01.100 three grenades but but big thing here right they each have one left we know that if one 07:33:01.100 --> 07:33:05.180 individual operator dies you don't lose two grenades or two grenades you will lose one regardless of 07:33:05.180 --> 07:33:09.740 what but it means that you have different nades in different locations of the map that can be 07:33:09.740 --> 07:33:14.940 spent in different areas so i really like when teams they share that use of utility they'll 07:33:14.940 --> 07:33:18.780 just have one guy spend it all one guy keep it all because then all of a sudden you might 07:33:18.780 --> 07:33:23.820 want the guy has nothing to grenade something but you can etc etc but the issue is what's 07:33:23.820 --> 07:33:28.940 what's gonna happen in 10-20 seconds. How do you deal with Mark? You can toss in some 07:33:28.940 --> 07:33:33.180 grenade, sure, but how are you gonna get in the hallway to get the angle for it? That's 07:33:33.180 --> 07:33:37.220 what I wonder. Because you gotta clear Mark before you go for any sort of bombsite attack. 07:33:37.220 --> 07:33:40.980 Here comes the grenade for the Catclaw, but if the Catclaw is an inset that small box 07:33:40.980 --> 07:33:44.580 will ruin, but it meets you elsewhere, the grenade won't clear. 07:33:44.580 --> 07:33:51.140 Wow! Oh my god! Wow! Two players run through the fire. Mark still finds one of them. That 07:33:51.140 --> 07:33:55.700 That was maybe a little bit too dangerous there, a very risky play from Unreal Nightmare, 07:33:55.700 --> 07:34:01.940 but they burn alive, Shadow obliterated Mr. Punch with that shotgun, claims another Big 07:34:01.940 --> 07:34:02.940 J the last one standing. 07:34:02.940 --> 07:34:08.260 Look, he's been a great fragger for Unreal Nightmare, but his position's been red, he's 07:34:08.260 --> 07:34:09.260 been lit up. 07:34:09.260 --> 07:34:11.980 I9 wants to re-peak it, of course he does. 07:34:11.980 --> 07:34:12.980 Do it. 07:34:12.980 --> 07:34:13.980 Get him, mate. 07:34:13.980 --> 07:34:14.980 Time's ticking. 07:34:14.980 --> 07:34:18.180 and the ego challenge from 07:34:18.180 --> 07:34:21.220 I9 as Sol's heart cruise 07:34:21.220 --> 07:34:23.220 through their first defense. 07:34:23.220 --> 07:34:25.220 And this was the story of 07:34:25.220 --> 07:34:26.580 the striker who bought 07:34:26.580 --> 07:34:28.580 Frank Grenades and Canobaners, 07:34:28.580 --> 07:34:30.580 not Canobaners and EMPs. 07:34:30.580 --> 07:34:32.580 The kite ball can be anywhere in 07:34:32.580 --> 07:34:34.580 that room and the grenades can't 07:34:34.580 --> 07:34:36.580 always catch them. They never 07:34:36.580 --> 07:34:38.580 breach the meeting wall and they 07:34:38.580 --> 07:34:40.580 spend two grenades and a lot of 07:34:40.580 --> 07:34:42.580 time trying to do it. 07:34:42.580 --> 07:34:52.100 Stryker is a great independent operator. One of the only operators that can easily clear his own world now and then reach the wall himself. 07:34:53.300 --> 07:35:00.500 Yeah. But, but he didn't need to find where that claw is. Well, that's it. Yeah. 07:35:02.260 --> 07:35:08.500 It's also like with grenade cooking. Okay, vibe check. How many years have been since 07:35:08.500 --> 07:35:13.000 this grenade couldn't get removed because I have my own idea of when it happened, but I'm curious what you would say. 07:35:13.000 --> 07:35:15.000 Uh, I'll put up my head. 07:35:15.000 --> 07:35:21.000 I'm guessing it was pretty soon after G2 won the Six Invitational in 2023. 07:35:21.000 --> 07:35:24.500 And it's literally the same exact metric I'm using as well. 07:35:24.500 --> 07:35:25.000 Really? 07:35:25.000 --> 07:35:28.000 Because Benja was getting so many vertical nades through in that way. 07:35:28.000 --> 07:35:33.000 I think it was definitely in 2023, and I think between three to six months or one or two seasons after. 07:35:33.000 --> 07:35:37.240 Copenhagen Major or the Bradley Major type? 07:35:37.240 --> 07:35:38.240 Yeah. 07:35:38.240 --> 07:35:40.240 At last Major type. 07:35:40.240 --> 07:35:43.000 In the W700 era. 07:35:43.000 --> 07:35:46.840 That changed a lot of things in the game. 07:35:46.840 --> 07:35:51.860 For example, Maestro's Evil Eyes that are placed on like elevating positions, they can't 07:35:51.860 --> 07:35:52.860 get near anymore. 07:35:52.860 --> 07:35:55.560 At least many of them can't. 07:35:55.560 --> 07:35:59.240 Getting a kite claw that's on top of the reinforcement, you can't get either of them. 07:35:59.240 --> 07:36:03.380 you like land the maid on the first on the on the ledge of the reinforcement 07:36:03.380 --> 07:36:08.920 it's difficult it's tricky man and that's me where we saw the rise again of 07:36:08.920 --> 07:36:13.120 ashes or fear for brief moments in certain scenarios because if you mix can do 07:36:13.120 --> 07:36:15.600 those things 07:36:15.920 --> 07:36:22.920 I miss free kills every round oh big nitro cell from my dad and he covers his 07:36:22.920 --> 07:36:29.200 back talk about freebies I nice just lap them up big J always seems to be the 07:36:29.200 --> 07:36:32.280 Play it to come in and frag out when his team needs him. 07:36:32.280 --> 07:36:34.280 2v3, that's possible. 07:36:38.280 --> 07:36:41.120 That was spoken into existence. 07:36:41.120 --> 07:36:44.800 Free kills, C4, bids ADS, doesn't die because of it, 07:36:44.800 --> 07:36:46.000 doesn't quite connect the shot, 07:36:46.000 --> 07:36:48.640 missed the punch, really defines, big J. 07:36:48.640 --> 07:36:51.160 Shadow who is 0-7 is looking to go 0-8 07:36:51.160 --> 07:36:53.440 because into the 1v3, 07:36:53.440 --> 07:36:55.560 Suggins at our tellers. 07:36:55.560 --> 07:36:57.240 Question is, oh no, sorry, that's Mark. 07:36:57.240 --> 07:36:58.880 I thought we were watching Shadow for a second. 07:36:58.880 --> 07:37:00.240 Sorry, he's part of a spiral. 07:37:00.240 --> 07:37:03.120 Ooh, he's behind Martin Yellowping, but can't connect the shots. 07:37:03.120 --> 07:37:05.320 Despite the weapon difference, the Scorpion high recoil, 07:37:05.320 --> 07:37:07.680 high fire rate, they connect instead. 07:37:07.680 --> 07:37:10.560 And it is becoming a problem, 07:37:10.560 --> 07:37:12.360 ever since we saw Sandswap. 07:37:12.360 --> 07:37:15.640 I have the sinking feeling that this game 07:37:15.640 --> 07:37:19.080 is just gonna very slowly, but surely, 07:37:19.080 --> 07:37:20.960 peter out for Unreal Nightmare, 07:37:20.960 --> 07:37:22.960 now that they're on this attacking side. 07:37:24.800 --> 07:37:25.880 And it's not their fault. 07:37:25.880 --> 07:37:28.000 I mean, Souls Harder, a really good team. 07:37:28.880 --> 07:37:35.240 I feel like Unreal Nightmare really needed to crack on with four or more defenses on that defensive side 07:37:35.400 --> 07:37:42.200 In that first half now they move on to the second obviously they got rolled over on chalet once the sides swaps and 07:37:42.640 --> 07:37:48.780 They started on the unfavorite side now. It seems like the same story might be happening. They only have two more chances 07:37:48.780 --> 07:37:50.240 PENGU 07:37:50.240 --> 07:37:51.320 Unreal Nightmare 07:37:51.320 --> 07:37:56.480 On the verge of elimination they survived it earlier today with their win over HL Torrey 07:37:56.480 --> 07:38:01.360 the souls heart though they believe that they can be one of the best teams in 07:38:01.360 --> 07:38:06.320 this region they believe that they can push for a major it's been years it's 07:38:06.320 --> 07:38:10.680 been over three years since any of these players made it to an international event 07:38:10.680 --> 07:38:14.600 the last time they did so they were known as elevates and that was at six 07:38:14.600 --> 07:38:31.240 in Montreal. It's been a long time between drinks for this souls heart roster. 07:38:31.240 --> 07:38:35.880 They're keeping up their momentum and they've been a pretty stable team and consistent at 07:38:35.880 --> 07:38:40.960 performing. The question is always how good can you be domestically versus internationally 07:38:40.960 --> 07:38:51.960 And that's where we look at teams like Waple that are just, you know, a level above because they can go internationally and we expect them to make main stage or to make playoffs, at least we expect them to make that top 10, 12, eight kind of position. 07:38:51.960 --> 07:38:57.960 Solzhard, they've had these brief moments where they said, Okay, these guys are here to play. 07:38:57.960 --> 07:39:08.960 I think the only question is for them is how consistent can they perform. Sometimes small thing will stick to the cracks and will find themselves losing a game or losing a matter of whether they shouldn't. 07:39:08.960 --> 07:39:14.560 They're gonna lose I-9 in an unfortunate way. A very good drone information there in these zone walls. 07:39:14.560 --> 07:39:16.960 It's the yellow ping, the window door ping together. 07:39:16.960 --> 07:39:19.560 Oh, for him. Then an aggressive run out. 07:39:19.560 --> 07:39:23.360 The Gorya impact on main board. No punishment, no trade back. 07:39:23.360 --> 07:39:24.960 It doesn't get sped up by the lion. 07:39:28.360 --> 07:39:31.360 I like the aggression from Sol's heart on the defensive side. 07:39:31.360 --> 07:39:33.960 Heads up. Hostile inbound. 07:39:33.960 --> 07:39:34.960 Good internal. 07:39:34.960 --> 07:39:37.960 For Shaz, solid snake. 07:39:38.960 --> 07:39:41.960 He spots out the player inside a meeting, DCH. 07:39:43.960 --> 07:39:51.960 And he also gets taken by the lion now as well, but I think this defense could just peel back, give up meeting, or back into C.O. 07:39:55.960 --> 07:39:58.960 Yeah, but you know Mark, he likes to good fight. 07:39:58.960 --> 07:40:02.960 He wants to try and beat up a little bit more pressure before falling on back all the way. 07:40:02.960 --> 07:40:07.960 Same for Scatman, it's open up a line inside of Loppy, all the way. 07:40:07.960 --> 07:40:09.960 Scatman will find the kill in Teller's Hall. 07:40:09.960 --> 07:40:11.960 That's a great little rotation there, made by the impact. 07:40:11.960 --> 07:40:14.960 So two impact grenades, two kills by the way. 07:40:14.960 --> 07:40:16.960 Only two in the round, so now they can fall on back. 07:40:16.960 --> 07:40:20.960 Use the mirror in the upstairs, use the crossfire downstairs, 07:40:20.960 --> 07:40:24.960 and just leverage the fact that they got two different floors in control 07:40:24.960 --> 07:40:27.960 and only 60 seconds for Unreal Nightmare to work with. 07:40:27.960 --> 07:40:36.880 Here comes a Deimos track, Scatman's under the pump, he's been hard to put down in this 07:40:36.880 --> 07:40:43.960 game so far, 11 and 2, 12 and 2 finally traded back, after a big 3k eventually Scatman goes 07:40:43.960 --> 07:40:48.720 down but Mr. Punch still has a great position to hold, he can detonate that Goyo fire to 07:40:48.720 --> 07:40:53.280 protect himself from any push in from the bottom of yellow stairs, however with Wag 07:40:53.280 --> 07:40:57.840 finding another pick, there's a lot of pressure on Mark to rotate back to site, Mr. Punch 07:40:57.840 --> 07:41:02.780 though seems to have a side on luck diffuser is cold and yeah wag is still 07:41:02.780 --> 07:41:06.720 outside the building he's gonna likely expose himself by jumping on his side 07:41:06.720 --> 07:41:10.440 Mark should be out at watching he will have heard that fault for sure 07:41:10.440 --> 07:41:15.720 like big kill Mark just needs to hold down and he does spray him in the head 07:41:15.720 --> 07:41:23.760 big kill for Mark and souls are go three for three on the defense cool and calm 07:41:23.760 --> 07:41:30.500 It's always a scary moment where guys to be one unloosable your teammate dies silence, and he's like, okay 07:41:30.500 --> 07:41:37.980 I got this one because the awkward position in there is if mark runs away from bottom yellow to go top floor and try and play for 07:41:37.980 --> 07:41:43.340 Time he's giving bombs a control to the enemy by staying and holding his ground bottom yellow 07:41:43.420 --> 07:41:48.080 Yes, they both know exactly where each other are, but he at least knows the outcome 07:41:48.080 --> 07:41:51.780 It's not gonna be that back and forth fighting chasing with a Cali T 07:41:51.780 --> 07:41:58.740 50-50, it will just come down to a 1v1 gunfight and Mark, he will take those odds. 07:41:58.740 --> 07:42:04.020 Lion and Goyuban traded, both used quite frequently by both teams, I'm not really too surprised. 07:42:04.020 --> 07:42:08.300 I kind of thought for a second we might see a demo span, but to be honest, the demos 07:42:08.300 --> 07:42:12.340 has mostly been successful in the mid to late round, not necessarily getting the early picks 07:42:12.340 --> 07:42:14.740 like a lot of demo players do. 07:42:14.740 --> 07:42:18.180 And because of that, the traggers go off while you're in safe positions. 07:42:18.180 --> 07:42:23.460 It does mean over there Mira will escape and you can play Mira now on the 07:42:23.460 --> 07:42:26.820 Basin bomb side, on Lobby bomb side, on Stid bomb side if you want to go there. 07:42:26.820 --> 07:42:31.380 So there is going to be an awkward scenario where Unreal Nightingale really 07:42:31.380 --> 07:42:36.140 has to respect the Mira, maybe going to the Ash, to Kali on future sites if they 07:42:36.140 --> 07:42:37.940 were to win this one. 07:42:37.940 --> 07:42:40.820 Seeing that the line was banned, you mentioned over to Daemons, I actually 07:42:40.820 --> 07:42:45.980 think over to Dokobie. Dokobie is so good. One of the best operators on the attacking side. 07:42:45.980 --> 07:42:52.020 But the line going out also gives up one of your sets of grenades. We talked about how many grenades we've seen 07:42:52.660 --> 07:42:55.660 In this game so far particularly from Unreal 9 there 07:42:56.380 --> 07:43:00.800 Of course plenty of other operators that bring grenades for example the IQ which is being picked up 07:43:01.220 --> 07:43:06.460 It looks like the IQ I'm guessing is being used primarily to counter the Kaid and 07:43:07.220 --> 07:43:13.600 Striker has now actually brought baby EMPs in addition to the canopies instead of those grenades. I like that 07:43:13.600 --> 07:43:19.640 so now you can IQ scan and then you can of course strike her I like this a lot 07:43:19.640 --> 07:43:23.600 so what you can also do just as a substitute you actually play that sure 07:43:23.600 --> 07:43:27.760 as an IQ because it shows her things on the wall right but what's the point of 07:43:27.760 --> 07:43:32.320 bringing in faster and then lose out on like IQ having fragmented you couldn't 07:43:32.320 --> 07:43:36.240 do strike a no MP strike out with frag grenades but I think it is better 07:43:36.240 --> 07:43:39.440 value getting second in peace can open yours and then getting a whole 07:43:39.440 --> 07:43:42.920 different get an IQ and then you don't have to play a once-in-a-period in 07:43:42.920 --> 07:43:47.960 factually oh yeah that's the real kicker I also mean I guess the better guns you 07:43:47.960 --> 07:43:50.840 know there's a lot of reasons why you should pay the IQ really but if you ever 07:43:50.840 --> 07:43:54.200 wanted to you could pay that sure and use it as an IQ if there's like a battle 07:43:54.200 --> 07:44:02.280 career echo or something like that not just paid for the wall denial you're 07:44:02.280 --> 07:44:04.720 just gonna say the capital being used to try and flush out some of these 07:44:04.720 --> 07:44:09.440 compositions hasn't really succeeded in doing so. In fact Shaz almost loses his 07:44:09.440 --> 07:44:13.920 life to that nitro cell tossed out over the top. Mark is lucky you can have a 07:44:13.920 --> 07:44:20.280 safe haven on top of that kitchen counter in break room but eventually Wagg will 07:44:20.280 --> 07:44:23.680 march on inside, he overstays his welcome a little bit too much and he will fall 07:44:23.680 --> 07:44:28.720 however big trade with the striker going down. Now I sure hope that he managed to 07:44:28.720 --> 07:44:32.840 use his hide breach before he went down. 07:44:34.720 --> 07:44:41.400 I mean they lost capital fire, they lost you know one of their fracrenes, the 07:44:41.400 --> 07:44:45.040 pushing power for the bomb set is definitely a bit limited but honestly 07:44:45.040 --> 07:44:49.120 I'm looking for a shadow on the buck and K3 on the demo so kind of spring into 07:44:49.120 --> 07:44:52.840 action because vertically speaking they can clear some of spiral, they can clear 07:44:52.840 --> 07:44:57.080 a lot of meat seem like we're some souls heart themselves so if I'm a shadow I'm 07:44:57.080 --> 07:45:00.280 thinking guys can I get down there some lobbies how working that gadget or do we 07:45:00.280 --> 07:45:11.280 That's a big kill though for Scatman. Oh wow, long angle through the feed holes all the way to the door into break room. 07:45:11.280 --> 07:45:14.280 Shadow needs to be careful not to be vulnerable to that as well. 07:45:14.280 --> 07:45:17.280 It's the punch allowed to cross but that does of course open the gates for Wag. 07:45:17.280 --> 07:45:23.280 I just noticed that poor Shadow is 0-9 at the moment. He has not found his way into this game. 07:45:23.280 --> 07:45:25.280 He's got every single round and not found a kill. 07:45:25.280 --> 07:45:29.280 He hopes that this might be the round to finally change that. 07:45:29.280 --> 07:45:31.280 K3 though. 07:45:31.280 --> 07:45:34.280 He needs to make his way forward. He wants to swing this in close range. 07:45:34.280 --> 07:45:37.280 That head getter is very powerful. Big two shots. 07:45:37.280 --> 07:45:39.280 And one with the AK as well. 07:45:39.280 --> 07:45:41.280 The gates are now open into the bomb site. 07:45:41.280 --> 07:45:45.280 There's Wagg. Stars the forces, plant down, but Shadow will fall. 07:45:45.280 --> 07:45:48.280 The solace is below, but has no idea where the plant is going down. 07:45:48.280 --> 07:45:52.280 How does I not realize the plant was just in a default position? 07:45:52.280 --> 07:45:54.280 Surely should have read that. 07:45:54.280 --> 07:45:57.480 But no, now it's time for a retake. The impact though. 07:45:57.480 --> 07:46:03.080 With K3 on low HP, you could finish him off, but no, both impacts go out for nothing. Doesn't matter. 07:46:03.080 --> 07:46:04.580 Scatman's found one. 07:46:04.580 --> 07:46:13.080 Two versus one, Scatman on 15 kills as he looks to finish off Unreal Nightmare to eliminate them. 07:46:13.080 --> 07:46:20.880 From APL, Wag, must stand in their way. He must push for it, but I9 has found him! 07:46:20.880 --> 07:46:24.140 And Scamman hits the counter defuse! 07:46:24.140 --> 07:46:26.300 Solzhard survived! 07:46:26.300 --> 07:46:32.500 They mark 4th and they continue to become the lower bracket Grim Reaper's. 07:46:32.500 --> 07:46:36.100 It's a good night, it's an unreal night there. 07:46:36.100 --> 07:46:41.900 They had a valiant effort but their story for this stage has come to an end. 07:46:41.900 --> 07:46:45.300 Oh man, you saw them in the players coming back and you saw Solzhard. 07:46:45.300 --> 07:46:47.060 Big smile and big laughing. 07:46:47.060 --> 07:46:49.060 That is such a smart mini-play. 07:46:49.060 --> 07:46:55.460 These throwing impacts downstairs was elongated from top spiraled to create this chaos in the server 07:46:55.460 --> 07:47:01.220 and also shrouding the sound rather of Shadman pushing to the bottom side to go for the wallbang. 07:47:01.220 --> 07:47:05.940 It's again another beautiful mini-play where it is so stinking together. 07:47:05.940 --> 07:47:10.500 And then, very small mistake if you're on your life there, they didn't plant in the hard left 07:47:10.500 --> 07:47:15.300 corner of the site. They were just one or two footsteps further to the right until the long 07:47:15.300 --> 07:47:19.020 the arm becomes pass-cooled. Normally that's something to case because you 07:47:19.020 --> 07:47:24.500 find DDD in the corner, very small oversight. Honestly, ever since side-slot 07:47:24.500 --> 07:47:27.700 the Souls Force might go on to the defensive half, I was thinking this one 07:47:27.700 --> 07:47:30.940 is locked and ready because they were looking formidable on that arm. 07:47:30.940 --> 07:47:34.540 That is exactly what happened. It was fully in a row of the defensive side 07:47:34.540 --> 07:47:38.700 for Souls Heart and you're right man, it got close. I didn't realize that that's 07:47:38.700 --> 07:47:42.780 what I9 was doing with the impacts. He was covering the sound cue for Scatman. 07:47:42.780 --> 07:47:47.580 I think it was 15 kills at the end of it for Scatman. What a ripper of a game. 07:47:47.580 --> 07:47:52.940 And for Sol's heart, a big much needed redemption after losing to Waybo being 07:47:52.940 --> 07:47:56.480 sent down to the lower bracket. They need a confidence booster and a very 07:47:56.480 --> 07:48:02.700 convincing 7-3 in 7-3 over Unreal Nightmare is exactly what they needed. 07:48:02.700 --> 07:48:08.380 Man, have a look at that. 15 kills to three deaths for Scatman. 0-10 on the 07:48:08.380 --> 07:48:13.540 foot side for Shadow. I mean that's a big gap between those two players in 07:48:13.540 --> 07:48:17.940 particular. Mind you, Kevin only died on the rounds that they lost where Shadow 07:48:17.940 --> 07:48:23.700 died on every single round in the game period. And I mean it is a 7-3. If you 07:48:23.700 --> 07:48:26.780 have a couple of players step up individually from the set on the 07:48:26.780 --> 07:48:30.460 nightmare or Shadow gets into the action, we can see like you know a much 07:48:30.460 --> 07:48:34.580 closer game like a 5-5 or a 6-4. We can start seeing them actually challenging 07:48:34.580 --> 07:48:38.340 them and having a player having a hard time scoreboard wise and defense, I don't 07:48:38.340 --> 07:48:42.900 Everything is too big of an issue, because you're always like, you know, what, what, play, utility, etc. 07:48:42.900 --> 07:48:45.440 But on the second side, you need that entry-fragment power. 07:48:45.440 --> 07:48:48.740 That's really where having a player go to your stand comes to, to hurt you. 07:48:48.740 --> 07:48:49.240 Yeah. 07:48:49.240 --> 07:48:56.740 A great game, though, for Soul's Heart, and thankfully, we get to talk to the man himself, one of my favorite people in Rainbow Six Siege. 07:48:56.740 --> 07:49:02.140 Esports, I9! It's so nice to see you! Congratulations! 07:49:02.140 --> 07:49:02.740 Yeah, good to see you. 07:49:02.740 --> 07:49:03.740 On your victory! 07:49:04.440 --> 07:49:05.240 How are you feeling? 07:49:05.240 --> 07:49:07.740 Good, I feel much better. 07:49:07.740 --> 07:49:13.060 I mean like feels happy. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah 07:49:13.740 --> 07:49:15.740 That's how 07:49:17.100 --> 07:49:23.420 Listen like I want to bring my little angel to here, but you know, it's a kid 07:49:23.980 --> 07:49:28.620 You start to control. Yeah. Yeah, that's why that's okay. That's okay 07:49:29.540 --> 07:49:35.540 So firstly I nine tell us about your match against Waybone. What went wrong? 07:49:35.540 --> 07:49:41.300 It was a very close game. What do you think you need to do to beat Waybo next time? 07:49:42.580 --> 07:49:44.580 As we all know, they are 07:49:46.820 --> 07:49:55.100 They are strong game team in the league right now is what a very close match. I really want to see is go to the first map 07:49:58.340 --> 07:50:00.340 So I 07:50:00.340 --> 07:50:05.940 I want to see exactly how we fight with them on final map for now. 07:50:05.940 --> 07:50:12.980 We are looking them as the best line and trying to learn from them as much as we can. 07:50:12.980 --> 07:50:13.980 That's all I know. 07:50:13.980 --> 07:50:14.980 Yeah. 07:50:14.980 --> 07:50:15.980 Yeah. 07:50:15.980 --> 07:50:20.460 You guys have been having a very high level of stage obviously in recent history. 07:50:20.460 --> 07:50:23.860 Do you feel like the level in Asia is increasing? 07:50:23.860 --> 07:50:28.420 You know, yourself, Soul Start, Wave or Gaming, Team Orchid, they think a good game against 07:50:28.420 --> 07:50:29.420 Elevate. 07:50:29.420 --> 07:50:34.420 Is this the moment where there is 3 or 4 good teams fighting the top 2 in your opinion? 07:50:34.420 --> 07:50:37.420 Or how many teams do you think is really good right now? 07:50:39.420 --> 07:50:45.420 Maybe, like, that's a hard choice. Both days start here with dangerous. 07:50:45.420 --> 07:50:49.420 But if I had to pick, it would be days start. 07:50:49.420 --> 07:50:52.420 We have fight each other so many times. 07:50:52.420 --> 07:50:57.420 There are no secret left at the point. 07:50:57.420 --> 07:51:02.940 It's about who pay better on that day, you know, on the day. 07:51:03.820 --> 07:51:07.460 Yes. I have one last question for you. 07:51:07.460 --> 07:51:12.460 I nine. Of course, you've been to so many events now, six invitations, 07:51:12.780 --> 07:51:16.220 majors back with fury, with elevates. 07:51:16.380 --> 07:51:21.380 And now with souls, you have your chance to make it to Salt Lake City. 07:51:21.780 --> 07:51:24.700 What would that mean for you? Obviously, your life has changed. 07:51:24.700 --> 07:51:27.100 You're a father now. You're married. 07:51:27.100 --> 07:51:31.100 What would it feel like to get to go back to the international stage? 07:51:33.100 --> 07:51:38.100 If we can go back instead, it's going to be good. 07:51:41.100 --> 07:51:46.100 It is what it is. We're going to do the best. 07:51:47.100 --> 07:51:53.100 Right now, we scream harder, we play harder, we try to run enemies. 07:51:53.100 --> 07:52:00.140 so like every time you know we're gonna do the best that's all I'm gonna say yeah okay well 07:52:00.700 --> 07:52:05.500 again I know and congratulations on your win today and good luck in your next match good luck 07:52:05.500 --> 07:52:11.820 yeah thank you see you guys thank you again good to see you yeah goodbye 07:52:13.500 --> 07:52:17.820 goodbye thank you he said good to see you Dave I don't think he said good to see you 07:52:17.820 --> 07:52:26.460 He's your favorite person. It's okay that you're also his favorite person, right? 07:52:26.460 --> 07:52:27.740 You just have to see what you're keeping up. 07:52:27.740 --> 07:52:31.740 That's very sweet and level-headed of yours. Trying to rage bait, didn't work. 07:52:31.740 --> 07:52:37.020 That's all right. You know who rate-bed it very well tonight? It's Critchey from Team 07:52:37.020 --> 07:52:44.780 Walkin. He's our MVP of this playday. Man, this guy led absolutely nuts. And Team Walkin 07:52:44.780 --> 07:52:51.020 It really made a very short case, thank you for why they're probably off the second best team behind Wabo in Asia 07:52:51.820 --> 07:52:58.100 Yeah, it's funny because I was mentioning it seems to iron about what do you think about the top 4 situation and he's 07:52:58.100 --> 07:53:03.780 Mind-blowing who do we think is the strongest enemy that's not Wabo and that's why he said they start because we know each other so well 07:53:03.900 --> 07:53:09.740 But they don't seem orchid is that they're a bit of an unknown factor when they went up earlier today against Elevate 07:53:09.740 --> 07:53:17.180 We're thinking close game, not sure who's gonna take it, could be either way, back and forth, definitely a three-mapper series, right? Wrong! 07:53:17.180 --> 07:53:30.540 Seamor Kit, Crit J, BG Man, like, I mean, honestly the whole Gath and roster, they all showed up huge individually and as a team, and this kind of reel is practically all Crit J, he was farming them a bunch of them. 07:53:30.540 --> 07:53:43.540 Yeah, very much so. A phenomenal day from a lot of teams, Crete in particular. I'm really excited to see who truly is the second best team in the region, because at the moment, just after the matches today, I feel like it is Orchid. 07:53:43.540 --> 07:53:51.540 But of course, we're going to get a chance to see them play against Waybo in that upper bracket final. We're also going to get a chance to see Solzha continue through the lower bracket. 07:53:51.540 --> 07:53:56.140 They start as well. They will continue to try and fight for their chance to survive 07:53:56.700 --> 07:54:01.880 But it's not gonna be easy for a lot of these teams a lot of brackets getting more and more competitive even just today 07:54:01.880 --> 07:54:06.120 Obviously, we've knocked out a HLT and we knocked out unreal nightmare. I 07:54:07.140 --> 07:54:11.060 Guess I'm gonna ask you a question. Thank you. I'm gonna ask you the question you asked our night 07:54:11.500 --> 07:54:16.740 How many teams do you think that there are at a top level in this region because we know it's way, but I think we've got a 07:54:16.740 --> 07:54:23.640 Conversation about Orchid. Is it also Solzhard? Is it also Daystar? Is it also Elevate? How many more in that conversation? 07:54:24.680 --> 07:54:30.340 I think the reason why it's so hard to answer this is because it very much depends on who's playing each other. 07:54:30.340 --> 07:54:34.840 Like Aynan said, if Solzhard plays Daystar, they think that's an incredibly hard matchup. 07:54:34.840 --> 07:54:37.440 And if Orchid plays Elevate, maybe that's easy for Orchid. 07:54:37.440 --> 07:54:44.540 I am curious on the Orchid vs Solzhard vs Daystar. That trio of teams, one of them obviously is the second best one. 07:54:44.540 --> 07:54:49.740 From the eye test of my personal bias feeling, I would say Team Orchid, the way they play the game, 07:54:49.740 --> 07:54:54.140 they control the pace going a fast rush, then a solid month to round, and playing very slow 07:54:54.140 --> 07:54:59.660 fundamental siege. That to me is a high level siege that many other teams in Asia cannot do 07:54:59.660 --> 07:55:03.580 unless you're way bowed. So I'm gonna say with Team Orchid, but it's definitely 07:55:03.580 --> 07:55:07.260 between those three of Orchid, Baystar, and of course, Soulstorm. 07:55:07.260 --> 07:55:11.740 Yeah, of course, Orchid still have a chance in the upper bracket, so they'll play way 07:55:11.740 --> 07:55:15.160 If they lose that they'll go down into that lower final 07:55:15.320 --> 07:55:18.780 But at the moment souls hard have already made it to the lowest semi-finals 07:55:18.780 --> 07:55:24.820 So they'll be playing the winner of day star versus elevate. I actually think that's gonna be a hard game to pick 07:55:25.320 --> 07:55:29.580 It's both very new teams in a way like a stars made some roster changes 07:55:30.100 --> 07:55:32.980 Obviously it's Joe Gore against his old team as well 07:55:32.980 --> 07:55:39.480 And just why would I know and said I'm still really excited for an orchid versus souls hard match if we end up getting it 07:55:39.480 --> 07:55:42.180 because that's I9 against his former team. 07:55:42.180 --> 07:55:44.140 And I think that those are probably 07:55:44.140 --> 07:55:47.740 the second and third best teams in the region at the moment. 07:55:47.740 --> 07:55:50.980 But that pretty much closes up for the day. 07:55:50.980 --> 07:55:53.580 Of course, we've got so much siege happening globally 07:55:53.580 --> 07:55:54.020 at the moment. 07:55:54.020 --> 07:55:56.520 We started today by talking about the North American League. 07:55:56.520 --> 07:55:58.140 We also have the South American League, 07:55:58.140 --> 07:56:01.420 which is coming up in just a few hours away. 07:56:01.420 --> 07:56:03.460 It's four and a half hours away. 07:56:03.460 --> 07:56:06.460 And I mean, we love the South Asia. 07:56:06.460 --> 07:56:09.760 So many reasons going on. 07:56:09.760 --> 07:56:13.560 South American League, we're the best in the world. 07:56:13.560 --> 07:56:15.080 That's how it works. 07:56:15.080 --> 07:56:15.920 It's that simple. 07:56:15.920 --> 07:56:17.680 Yeah, of course, four and a half hours 07:56:17.680 --> 07:56:18.520 of the South American League. 07:56:18.520 --> 07:56:21.160 Tomorrow we'll have the Oast League in APL. 07:56:21.160 --> 07:56:23.560 But that's all for us today, Penger. 07:56:23.560 --> 07:56:25.300 And now I have to wait until our next 07:56:25.300 --> 07:56:27.360 EU broadcast to see you again. 07:56:27.360 --> 07:56:28.200 But thank you, everyone. 07:56:28.200 --> 07:56:29.960 I'll see you on Monday, two days from now. 07:56:29.960 --> 07:56:31.360 Hey, I'm a second. 07:56:31.360 --> 07:56:32.760 I'll see you very soon then. 07:56:32.760 --> 07:56:36.000 And everyone watching will see you when we see you. 07:56:36.000 --> 07:56:43.200 in that. To find it, he needs to go deep, 1 HP, and he gets the ace! 07:56:43.200 --> 07:56:51.000 3, this is a free kill for K3. It should be maybe more than 1. No! What?! Brammer! 07:56:51.000 --> 07:56:58.200 He starts planting that defuser, Nitro cell comes out, the Nitro does a terrible lot of damage, but doesn't finally find the kill. 07:56:58.200 --> 07:57:03.800 He survives. The fire has brought him enough time to go in for the pick and a half to commit to it now. 07:57:03.800 --> 07:57:04.740 En high, Cal. 07:57:05.100 --> 07:57:06.820 Can you slowly start pushing forward? 07:57:06.820 --> 07:57:08.500 Oh my god! 07:57:08.500 --> 07:57:09.940 He's just done it! 07:57:10.320 --> 07:57:11.260 He's got it! 07:57:11.660 --> 07:57:12.860 Tell me he's got it! 07:57:12.860 --> 07:57:15.100 He's convinced in the spray through the wall, 07:57:15.100 --> 07:57:16.860 and he wins the round! 07:57:17.100 --> 07:57:18.360 I know, it doesn't realize, 07:57:18.360 --> 07:57:20.060 so we're gonna play deep in the boom site! 07:57:20.060 --> 07:57:21.140 I think he's lost it, 07:57:21.140 --> 07:57:22.180 he's lost it to his players, 07:57:22.180 --> 07:57:23.220 thinking we'll put him back. 07:57:23.540 --> 07:57:24.620 Aggressive play, 07:57:24.620 --> 07:57:25.700 what is that? 07:57:25.700 --> 07:57:27.460 DCH get off the floor! 07:57:27.460 --> 07:57:29.540 Let's see him safe land position opportunities, 07:57:29.540 --> 07:57:30.100 and while they're- 07:57:30.100 --> 07:57:34.300 Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha ha Ha Ha Bitch 07:57:34.420 --> 07:57:35.280 Arhhhh 07:57:36.080 --> 07:57:36.940 oh 08:01:30.100 --> 08:01:32.100 I 08:03:00.100 --> 08:03:02.100 I 08:06:00.100 --> 08:06:02.100 I 08:06:30.100 --> 08:06:32.100 I 08:07:00.100 --> 08:07:02.100 I
